mary was hysterical and ran into the ocean thinking to die there , but as soon as the waves knocked her down , her body began to fight and she gasped for air and struggled to stay above the thick and angry night waters , and then she felt arms reaching for her and it was dorothea herself who pulled her out of the ocean , and as they lay on the hard packed sand , mary cried and lamented , i dont even know how to drown , what will i do ?
