Pàgina 8 - there is yet hope for us; the vessel, in striking between the rock?, is fixed in a position which protects our cabin above the water, and if the wind should settle to-morrow, we may possibly reach the land," This assurance calmed my children, and as usual, they depended on all I told them; they rejoiced that the heaving of the vessel had ceased, as, while it lasted, they were continually thrown against each other.
