AMONG SHARKS AND ALLIGATORS 201 
When the news of this sad happening reached the island 
from which they came, deepest sorrow filled the hearts of 
their people, but God gave grace to accept this heavy trial, 
comforting them in the midst of their sorrow with the knowl- 
edge that from the angry waves and from the voracious 
sharks and the dreadful alligator He had saved the three 
noble fellows who had through it all trusted Him for de- 
liverance.
