He could n't understand Gulliver ; but Moppet told him all the story , and , when he heard it , he was more troubled for the boy than for himself . `` What will he do ? He may get killed or scared , or try to come ashore . Is the lamp alight ? '' he cried , trying to move , and falling back with a moan of pain . Gulliver flew up to the highest rock , and looked out across the dark sea . Yes , there it was , -- the steady star shining through the storm , and saying plainly , `` All is well . '' `` Thank heaven ! if the lamp is burning , Davy is alive . Now , how shall I get to him ? '' said Dan . `` Never you fret , massa : Moppet 'll see to dat . You jes lay still till I comes . Dere 's folks in de house as 'll tend to you , ef I tells em who and where you is . '' Off she ran , and soon came back with help . Dan was taken to the house , and carefully tended ; Moppet was n't scolded for being out so late ; and , in the flurry , no one thought of the gull . Next morning , the cage was found blown over , and every one fancied the bird had flown away . Dora was already tired of him ; so he was soon forgotten by all but Moppet . In the morning it was clear ; and Gulliver flew gladly to the tower where Davy still watched and waited , with a pale face and heavy heart , for the three days had been very hard to bear , and , but for Nep and Shine , he would have lost his courage entirely . Gulliver flew straight into his bosom , and , sitting there , told his adventures ; while Davy laughed and cried , and Nep stood by , wagging his tail for joy , while his eyes were full of sympathy .
The three had a very happy hour together , and then came a boat to carry Davy ashore , while another keeper took charge of the light till XXXXX was well .
