The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky.The poor men held on to any bit of
____ they could find. They called to the Marie for
but she was far
the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning suddenly some
were seen in the distance: another ship! The shouts of the
were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The
of the ship that had arrived at the scene
to save their lives was Ellen. What had
her to the exact spot
the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known
of the wreck and had, indeed,
to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.
“
I was forced by the wind to change my course, a small bird flew across the ship once or twice and then flew at my face. I
of this until exactly the same thing happened a second time,
caused me to think it rather
. While I was this
, the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew
in the same way as before. I was then
to change my course back to the original one. I had not gone far
I heard a strange voice; and when I tried to
where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them.”
