الصفحة 277 - ... billows, like the soul of the mighty struggling with the last pangs of mortality. Orders were given to furl the fore-sail, and about sixty of the best seamen sprang aloft to execute the command. Already had they extended themselves upon the yard, and were gathering up the folds of the heavy canvass, when a tremendous sea came, like an Alpine mountain, rushing towards us.
الصفحة 278 - It occasions a sensation that a landsman cannot feel, unless it is that sort of melancholy satisfaction when friends meet who have surmounted adversity together, but with the apprehension of similar calamity still before them.

One other ship was still missing : what became of her I never heard; but, after waiting a proper time, we pursued our way to the island of St. Jago, the place...
