Here, Captain!
gpt
Are you hurt, Raoul?
human
Hurt? No, Captain.
gpt
What was it, then?
human
Oh! I wished to warn you, but I was too late. I might have known they would stampede, as the poor brutes have been no better treated than ourselves. Hear how they draw it up!
gpt
I am choking!
human
Do as I do, Captain,
gpt
How?
human
Bend down, and let the water run into your mouth.
gpt
They may not give us a drop, continued he.
human
It is our only chance.
gpt
I have not even that,
human
Why?
gpt
I cannot reach it.
human
How deep are you?
gpt
To the saddle-flaps.
human
Ride this way, Captain. It's deeper here.
gpt
How can I? My mule is her own master, as far as I am concerned.
human

gpt
I did not think of that.
human
Courage, Captain!
