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.
Je pensais que les affres de la mort étaient passées, et que cet orage ne serait point comme le premier. Mais quand, près de moi, comme je le disais tantôt, le capitaine lui-même s'écria:--«Nous sommes touts perdus!»--je fus horriblement effrayé, je sortis de ma cabine et je regardai dehors.
