Excerpt from Familiar Letters From Europe
Away they went. But the waves seemed to rise higher and the wind to blow stronger. We watched both boats with straining eyes, and the most painful, even agonizing feelings. I assure you, those noble fellows had not one chance in a thousand of ever reaching the ship again in safety. All the rest - four in number had dis appeared from sight, and there was not the shadow of a possibility of' their surviving. Two awful hours passed, and then the Captain called his crew aft, and asked them if they thought it best to continue the search. After a moment of sad silence, they said, No, there is no hope and the signal was given for the boat to return.
