hooner was readily
found. The wreckers, surprised in their bunks, proved an easy capture,
and before daybreak all were safely locked up in jail. Prince was also
found and restored to the delighted Eric, who now felt as though his
cup of rejoicing was full. The trial of the wreckers excited
widespread interest, and made Eric the hero of the hour. Ben, taking
the advice of Dr. Saltonstall, turned state's evidence, and was
released. But the other wreckers--from Evil-Eye to Black Joe--received
the punishment they had so well merited.
In the meantime Dr. Copeland had been sent for, and, hastening to
Boston, he had the supreme delight of clasping to his breast the boy
whom he had all through the long winter been mourning as lost to him
for ever. The meeting between father and son was touching. It seemed
as though the doctor could never sufficiently assure himself that it
was really his Eric who stood before him, browner of face and bigger of
form, but otherwise unchanged by his thrilling experiences among the
Wreckers of Sable Island.
