Over land and sea was `` the green , malignant light of coming storm . '' Little Ev brought the boat 's head abruptly round as a few heavy drops of rain fell . `` Ev , the boat is leaking ! '' shrieked Agnes , above the wind . `` The water 's coming in ! '' `` Bail her out then , '' shouted Ev , struggling with the sail . `` There 's two cans under the seat . I 've got to lower this sail . Bail her out . '' `` I 'll help you , '' said Ethel . She was very pale , but her manner was calm . Both girls bailed energetically . Young Si , watching through the glass , saw them . He dropped it and ran to his boat , white and resolute . `` They 've sprung a leak . Here , Curtis , launch the boat . We 've got to go out or Ev will drown them . '' They shot out from the shore just as the downpour came , blotting out sea and land in one driving sheet of white rain . `` Young Si is coming off for us , '' said Agnes . `` We 'll be all right if he gets here in time .
This boat is going XXXXX sink , sure . ''
