During these first hurries I was stupid, lying still in my cabin, which was in the steerage, and cannot describe my temper: I could ill resume the first penitence which I had so apparently trampled upon and hardened myself against: I thought the bitterness of death had been past, and that this would be nothing like the first; but when the master himself came by me, as I said just now, and said we should be all lost, I was dreadfully frighted.
Pensé que había superado el temor a la muerte y que esto no sería nada, como la primera vez, mas cuando el capitán se me acercó, como acabo de decir, y dijo que estábamos perdidos, me sentí aterrorizado. Me levanté, salí de mi camarote y miré a mi alrededor; nunca había visto un espectáculo tan desolador.
