Lesson 33

Out of the darkness


Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had

happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a

small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat

struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to

the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During

that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next

morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore

because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the

shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had

seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later,

she found herself in hospital.
