When I waked it was broad day, the weather clear, and the storm abated, so that the sea did not rage and swell as before. But that which surprised me most was, that the ship was lifted off in the night from the sand where she lay by the swelling of the tide, and was driven up almost as far as the rock which I at first mentioned, where I had been so bruised by the wave dashing me against it.
Allorchè mi svegliai era alto il mattino, bella la giornata, depressa tanto la tempesta, che il mare non infuriava o si gonfiava più come il dì innanzi; ma fu grande cagione per me di sorpresa il vedere come il nostro vascello, sollevatosi durante la notte dalla sabbia ove giaceva, fosse stato trasportato dal gonfiarsi della marea e tratto ad arrenarsi in poca lontananza dallo scoglio da me menzionato dianzi, e contro al quale lanciato dall’acque ebbi sì mala percossa.
