In a word, as the sea was returned to its smoothness of surface and settled calmness by the abatement of that storm, so the hurry of my thoughts being over, my fears and apprehensions of being swallowed up by the sea being forgotten, and the current of my former desires returned, I entirely forgot the vows and promises that I made in my distress.
En pocas palabras, a medida que el mar se calmaba después de la tormenta, mis atropellados pensamientos de la noche anterior comenzaron a desaparecer y fui perdiendo el temor a ser tragado por el mar. Entonces, retornaron mis antiguos deseos y me olvidé por completo de las promesas que había hecho en mi desesperación.
