Annatoo deserved a gold medal for what she did that day.

Hastening down the rigging, after loosing the topsail, she strained away at the sheets; in which operation she was assisted by Samoa, who snatched an instant from the helm.
The foresail and fore-topsail were now tolerably well set; and as the craft drew seaward, the breeze freshened.

And well that it did; for, recovered from their alarm, the savages were now in hot pursuit; some in canoes, and some swimming as before.

But soon the main-topsail was given to the breeze, which still freshening, came from over the quarter.

And with this brave show of canvas, the Parki made gallantly for the outlet; and loud shouted Samoa as she shot by the reef, and parted the long swells without.
