But I now put it on and waited for the sailing-master, meaning to step down again into the boat just before him, which I did, and turned my face away, 72 THE OLD JERSEY CAPTIVE 17 that I might not be recognized and another attempt be made to prevent my going. The boat was pushed off and we were soon clear of the ship. I took an oar, and attempted to row, but an English sailor took it from me and very kindly said "Give me the oar, you are not able to use it, you are too unwell. " I resigned it, ...and gave up myself to the most intense thought upon my situation. I had commenced the execution of a plan, in which if I failed my life was gone; but if I succeeded it was possible I might live. I looked back to the black and unsightly old ship as an object of the greatest horror. "Am I to escape or return there and perish?" was with me the all- absorbing question. I believed in a God whose plans and purposes were eternal and immutable, and I had no doubt but that with him my bounds were set and my destiny unalterably fixed.
