Excerpt from Open Boats
The crew swam round her, or clung to her sides, while the other starboard boat fought with its own difficulties. Just after it had reached the water, there was a violent explosion in the engine-room of the Dzbmea', which threw up a great wave, and half filled this boat also. The crew baled her as hastily as possible, in order to come to the rescue of the men in the sea. The maddening nightmare-like confusion of these moments can only be imagined.
