Grace looked quickly behind her, and saw the people on the rock. They were waving, shouting, laughing. ! She looked back at the waves and pulled hard and carefully with her oars. Grace and her father tried to get the boat near the rock, but three times they had to pull away at the last minute. The passengers pulled him onto the rock. Grace quickly rowed the boat out to sea again. She was alone in the boat now, and the boat moved differently. But she knew about boats. Grace went to the back of the boat with the woman, and held her. the lighthouse came nearer. At last, from the top of the waves, they could see Thomasin Darling. She was standing in ront of the lighthouse, and waving to them. They were very tired when they got to the lighthouse. William and Daniel carried the man with the broken leg into the kitchen, and Grace and her mother helped Mrs Dawson .Inside the kitchen, William smiled at his daughter. Daniel looked at the angry sea with its terrible waves,Queen Victoria thinks that Grace Darling is one of the finest young women in this country, and she is writing to thank her. One hundred years from now, people will remember this day. Sometimes the Forfarshire's engines made strange noises and the paddlewheels went slowly round. What's happened to the engines? said Mrs Dawson suddenly. God help the poor sailors to see this light. These engines are too old, and this one is broken in three places. A great wave broke against the rock, and white water crashed against the boat house doors. God help us! Save us from the sea, oh God! It was much quieter in her room because of the strong stone walls. If there are people alive on that ship now, you cannot save them, William. They waved and shouted at the lighthouse as hard as they could. We're all going to die! Daniel shouted. No one knows we are here! For a second the boat began to turn on its side. Carefully, slowly, Grace rowed the boat in to the rock Slowly, very slowly, the lighthouse came nearer. Daniel wanted to lie down in front of the fire and go to sleep for along, long time.
