want, who had scrambled on to the keel
OF our still floating boat and succeeded
in dragging me after him. The tempest
gradually abated, but no vestige remain
ed our lost ship. At a short distance
from us, however, to our great Joy, We
deserted another vessel, against which
the waves, no longer fearful, impotently
broke. As she drifted toward us dis.
covered that she was the same ship that
had passed us on the previous evening,
and which had struck such terror into
the hearts of our commander and the
sailors.
On making this discovery all my ap.
prehensions returned; the fears of the
captain so dreadful]y realized, the lone
illness of the ship, on which no one ap-
peared to answer to our repeated calls,
all contributed to inspire us with an
Understandable dread. However, to board
her was our only chance of saving our
lives, and grateful to Allah for having
hitherto preserved our lives in so miracu.
lous a manner, we again invoked his
protection and awaited the event.
From the bow of the vessel hung a
piece of chain, and as she neared lis we
labored with our hands and feet to reach
it. At length we succeeded, and
shouted again, but no voice greeted me
in return. We then climbed up by
means of the chain, I, as the younger
man, being the first to make the attempt.
Oh, horror! what spectacle met my
! eyes as l stepped on board! The planks
were crimsoned with blood, and between
twenty and thirty corpses in Turkish
costume were strewn about the deck.
A dead man, sp]endidly attired, was
