The shock was hardly noticeable but heard the crash and the scraping sound that followed. For few sec onds heard no other sound and de- cided to wait developments or infor- nation. Soon I heard one of the crew shouting All hands on deck and still supposed that only the crew was wanted and did not leave my berth until the cry was changed to Every body on deck; she's struck!
 Prom the scraping sound I inferred that the vessel was aground on a rock
