TRACING THE COURSE OF THE VESSEL
Another point mentioned by Paul is that. fearing
they would go down the qucksands, they
trimmed the sail. The narrative is not clear here.
1t suffers because the narrator was landsmau.
These Qucksands were the great terror OF the sai'
ors and accordingly when they found they were
going toward them they turned the ship toward the
north and with a small sail the ship would then
drift toward the west This account has been drawn
with accuracy by James Smith. He spent CONSUL

OF St. Paul's Journeys. He points out that the snip
drifted westward and little north and should come
