73 Her history; through foam and blinding spray, And topping waves, with course set north-nor'east, She ran at least a thousand miles, and just As seemed the deluge to abate and when We felt the worst had passed, the vessel sprung A leak. The pumps were set at work and for A day and night we labored might and main To keep the craft afloat, till land in sight Should give relief from perils on the sea. The hope was vain; the water gained upon Our work so rapidly the pumps were left And to our boa...ts as last resort we took. Just ten in each; but soon the rolling flood Swamped one; the other one, in which myself And people were, seemed better manned, and hope Sat on each dripping face, when came With force an ugly squall and over went The little craft and all went floundering in The flood. I never saw my parents more. Nor anyone of that fair band. I was Alone, it seemed upon the sea, but soon I lost my consciousness, and knew no more Until I saw you bending over me Upon the beach. I know not why I live And all the others gone, unless it is Because I had a large preserver on, And being less in weight than others were.
