The ship pitches horribly It is impos- slble to stand up. Sitting on the floor, talking in groups, they cling to the benches. It is necessary to shout to be heard. Some begin to be fright ened. Listen then: wrecks are fre- quent in these waters; the sailors are there to say so. and what they say is not reassuring.
