Eustace （who had really been trying very hard to behave ell， till the rain and the chess put him back） now did the rst brave thing he had ever done. He was wearing a sword hat Caspian had lent him. As soon as the serpent‘s body as near enough on the starboard side he jumped on to the ulwark and began hacking at it with all his might. It is true hat he accomplished nothing beyond breaking Caspian’s econd.best sword into bits， but it was a fine thing for a eginner to have done.
Others would have joined him if at that moment eepicheep had not called out， “Don‘t fight！ Push！” It was o unusual for the Mouse to advise anyone not to fight that， ven in that terrible moment， every eye turned to him. nd when he jumped up on to the bulwark， forward of the nake， and set his little furry back against its huge scaly， imy back， and began pushing as hard as he could， quite a umber of people saw what he meant and rushed to both des of the ship to do the same. And when， a moment later， he Sea Serpent’s head appeared again， this time on the port de， and this time with its back to them， then everyone nderstood.
