  well as he could with what the old sailor told him。
  The next morning; however; he had the satisfaction of seeing the
  French boat start with Jimmy in it。 To…night; then; I will see him;
  thought Toby; but many a long day passed before he ever saw Tommo
  again。 Hardly was the boat out of sight; when the captain came forward
  and ordered the anchor weighed; he was going to sea。
  Vain were all Toby's ravings;… they were disregarded; and when
  he came to himself; the sails were set; and the ship fast leaving
  the land。
  Oh! said he to me at our meeting; what sleepless nights were mine。
  Often I started from my hammock; dreaming you were before me; and
  upbraiding me for leaving you on the island。
  There is little more to be related。 Toby left this vessel New
  Zealand; and after some further adventures; arrived home in less
  than two years after leaving the Marquesas。 He always thought of me as
  dead… and I had every reason to suppose that he; too; was no more; but
  a strange meeting was in store for us; one which made Toby's heart all
  the lighter。
