Scudding before the storm for four
teen days and nights, the vessel finally
reached a place where the seamen's
trained ears caught h sound of the
surf during the night. Then they cast
four anchors out of the stern and wait
ed for morning. Meantime the Apostle
exhorted his companions to be of good
cheer. Reminding them of his vision
and assuring them of his absolute
faith therein, he urged them TO take
food In order that they might be
strengthened for the eXertions of the
coming day. His c~heerfulness and his

lifeboat had been cut adrift, because
the sailors had attempted to desert the
ship. st. Paul had discerned their i'll
tention, and had communicated the
facts to the centurion, advising that
the lifeboat be sent adrift and point
ing out the necessity of compliance
with reasonable precautions to insure
the fulflment of the Divine promise.
Seeing that only by swimming or by
floating on wreckage could the shore
be reached, the soldiers proposed that
the prisoners be killed; for under Ro-
man law they were answerable with
their lives for the security of those
committed to their charge. But the
centurion had learned to esteem the
Apostle, and for his sake spared all
the prisoners, doubtless remembering
the vision which had inspired them all
with the hope and the courage which
had brought them thus far toward
safety. 1t turned out as st. Paul had
foretold-every human life was spared.
