Cyrus Harding and his companions remained for a time silent, for they were vividly impressed by what they had just seen and heard, and their hearts were deeply touched by the thought that he whose arm had so often aided them, the protector whom they had known but a few hours, was at the point of death.
Cyrus Smith és társai hallgatagon várakoztak a fedélzeten, mert mindaz, amit láttak és hallottak, mély hatást tett reájuk, szívük pedig elszorult arra a gondolatra, hogy pártfogójuk, akit néhány órája ismernek csupán, de akinek segítő karja annyiszor nyúlt ki feléjük, halálán van!
