his head banged against the ice , his face scraped the underneath of the ice , and then his head was up in the air , and he could see that he was coming up through a hole in the ice , and for a moment all he could do was breathe , and let the black lake water run from his nose and his mouth , and blink his eyes , which could see nothing more than a blinding daylight , and shapes , and someone was pulling him , now , forcing him out of the water , saying something about how he 'd freeze to death , so come on , man , pull , and shadow wriggled and shook like a bull seal coming ashore , shaking and coughing and shuddering .
