Opis

Excerpt from The Swiss Family Robinson: Or, Adventures in a Desert Island The storm had lasted for six dreary days, and on the seventh seemed to rage with redoubled fury. The ship had been so far driven to the south-east of our true course, that no one on board knew where we were. Every one was dejected, and exhausted with fatigue and watching. The masts were broken; the shattered vessel began to leak, and threatened every moment to go down; the oaths of the sailors were changed to prayers, and each thought only how to save his own life. "Children," said I to my four sons, who were overcome with fear, "God can save us if he will; but if this is destined to be our last hour, we must resign ourselves, without a murmur, to the divine ordinance; we shall not be separated." My excellent wife dried her tears, assumed an aspect of composure, and cheered the children, who were clinging round her. We knelt down to pray for the help of our Heavenly Father; and the fervour and emotion of my dear children proved to me that even the young can find in prayer consolation and peace. Fritz prayed that God would but save his dear parents and brothers, and seemed not to think of himself. All forgot for a moment the threatened danger, and I felt my trust in Providence increase as I looked upon the pious little group.
