Because they were afraid<n id="1" /> that we would run aground on the rocky coast,<n id="2" /> they threw out<n id="3" /> four anchors from the stern and wished<n id="4" /> for day to appear.<n id="5" />

Then when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship&#8217;s boat into the sea, pretending<n id="1" /> that they were going to put out anchors from the bow,

So they slipped<n id="1" /> the anchors<n id="2" /> and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the linkage<n id="3" /> that bound the steering oars<n id="4" /> together. Then they hoisted<n id="5" /> the foresail<n id="6" /> to the wind and steered toward<n id="7" /> the beach.
