The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie (圣母玛丽亚) for 36 , but she was far 37 the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning, the water was getting 38 , and a strong 39 had begun to blow. Suddenly 40 were seen in the distance; another ship! The shouts of the swimmers were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 41 of the ship that had so 42 arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the 43 and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 44 about the wreck (沉船) and had indeed attempted to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.

“I was forced by the wind,” he said long afterwards, “to 45 my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small 46 flew across the ship once or twice and then 47 at my face. I took 48 of this until exactly the same thing happened at a 49 time, which caused me to think it rather 50 , while I was thus 51 it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew 52 in the same way as before. I was then 53 to change my course back to the original (原来的) one. I had not gone far 54 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to 55 where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked (船只失事). I immediately did my best to save them.”
