Chapter XXVI
THE HIGHEST RESOURCE. The wreck being lightened, was sinking more slowly, but none the less surely. The hopelessness of their situation was without resource--without mitigation; they had exhausted their last expedient. “Is there anything else we can throw overboard?” The doctor, whom every one had forgotten, rose from the companion, and said, “Yes.”
