| 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 _1_, but she was far _2_ the reach of the human voice. At one o'clock in the morning, the water was getting _3_ , and a strong _4_ had begun to blow. Suddenly _5_ 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 _6_ of the ship that had so _7_ arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the _8_ and the pathless sea? Her captain had known _9_ 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 _10_ my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small _11_ flew across the ship once or twice and then _12_ at my face. I took _13_ of this until exactly the same thing happened at a _14_ time, which caused me to think it rather _15_ , while I was thus _16_ it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew _17_ in the same way as before. I was then _18_ to change my course back to the original (原来的) one. I had not gone far _19_ I heard strange noises; and when I tried to _20_ 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." | |||
