　　康塞尔不得不来支持我，我们保全生命的担子于是完全落在他一一人身上。

　　I soon heard the poor lad gasping; his breathing became shallow and quick.

　　不久我听到这个可怜人发喘了;他的呼吸渐渐短促了。

　　我明白他也不能支持很久了。

　　Go on! Go on! I told him.

　　丢下我吧!丢下我吧!我对他说。

　　Leave master behind? he replied. Never! I'll drown before he does!

　　丢下先生!永远不能!他答，我还要死在先生前头呢!

　　海水在月亮下闪闪发光。这仁慈的月亮重新鼓起了我们的气力。

　　它在离我们五海里的海面，只是模糊不清的漆黑一团。但小艇呢，一只也没有!
