While I was doing this, I found the tide begin to flow, though very calm; and I had the mortification to see my coat, shirt, and waistcoat, which I had left on the shore, upon the sand, swim away.
Ezalatt legnagyobb ijedségemre azt vettem észre, hogy a víz szintje lassan emelkedni kezd és a parton hagyott ruháimat is eléri, majd elsodorja.
