Rescued (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21 – Part 7)

At the limits of his strength, Dantès struggles against the waves until he faints — only to awaken on the deck of the Genoese tartan. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21, the sailors revive him with rum and rough care, while the vessel sails swiftly away from the looming silhouette of the Château d’If.   ⸻   New to the journey?
