Excerpt from Sir Edward Seawards Narrative of His Shipwreck, and Consequent Discovery of Certain Islands in the Caribbean Sea, Vol. 2 of 3: With a Detail of Many Extraordinary and Highly Interesting Events in His Life, From the Year 1733 to 1749 as Written in His Own Diary WE kept our eyes upon our island home, while any trace of it could be seen. As the vessel proceeded on her course, it became less and less apparent, gradually sinking in the wave still something appeared like a small cloud on the horizon, when suddenly, and unperceived by us, the sun went down, and I saw the little speck no more. On the instant my Eliza and myself felt as when some dear friend passes away beneath your eye to the world of spirits. \we took each other's hand in silence, and sat down upon the deck: -here my sweet partner was not slow to cheer me with blissful words, while the thoughts that gave them utterance warmed her own bosom. Thus cheered we arose; and as she talked I seemed to forget all but what I then beard and saw. It was a peerless night - the azure' canopy, studded with a thousand stars, appeared in transcendant loveliness above us, while my own embodied angel leaned on my arm, discoursing of joys unsusceptible of alloy, whose fountain is higher than the heavens.
