Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Only by the watch," he panted. "Hall was over half a minute
ahead of me out to the end. I'm not slower than I thought, but
he's faster. He's a wooz of a sprinter. He could beat me ten
times outa ten, except for accident. He was hung up at the jump
by a big sea. That's where I caught 'm. I jumped right after 'm
on the same sea, then he set the pace home, and all I had to do
was take it."


"That's all right," said Hall. "You did better than beat me.
That's the first time in the history of Bierce's Cove that two
men made that jump on the same sea. And all the risk was yours,
coming last."
