Shipwreck

• “It was a touching answer of a Christian sailor, when asked why he remained so calm in a fearful storm, when the sea seemed ready to devour the ship. He was not sure that he could swim. "But," he said, "though I sink I shall only drop into the hollow of my Father's hand; for He holds all these waters there."”

• “Every drunken skipper trusts to Providence. But one of the ways of Providence with drunken skippers is to run them on the rocks.”

• “Improbe Neptunum accusat, qui iterum naufragium facit.”
