All
at
once
I
thought
I
heard
voices
,
and
the
steps
of
men
upon
the
deck
.
I
wished
to
arise
and
see
what
it
was
,
but
a
strange
power
fettered
my
limbs
,
and
I
could
not
once
open
my
eyes
.
But
still
more
distinct
became
the
voices
;
it
appeared
to
me
as
if
a
merry
crew
were
moving
around
upon
the
deck
.
In
the
midst
of
this
I
thought
I
distinguished
the
powerful
voice
of
a
commander
,
followed
by
the
noise
of
ropes
and
sails
.
Gradually
my
senses
left
me
;
I
fell
into
a
deep
slumber
,
in
which
I
still
seemed
to
hear
the
din
of
weapons
,
and
awoke
only
when
the
sun
was
high
in
the
heavens
,
and
sent
down
his
burning
rays
upon
my
face
.
Full
of
wonder
,
I
gazed
about
me
;
storm
,
ship
,
the
bodies
,
and
all
that
I
had
heard
in
the
night
,
recurred
to
me
as
a
dream
;
but
when
I
looked
around
,
I
found
all
as
it
had
been
the
day
before
.
Immoveable
lay
the
bodies
,
immoveably
was
the
Captain
fastened
to
the
mast
;
I
laughed
at
my
dream
,
and
proceeded
in
search
of
my
old
companion
.
12
The
latter
was
seated
in
sorrowful
meditation
in
the
cabin
.
"
O
master
,
"
he
exclaimed
as
I
entered
,
"
rather
would
I
lie
in
the
deepest
bottom
of
the
sea
,
than
pass
another
night
in
this
enchanted
ship
.
"
I
asked
him
the
reason
of
his
grief
,
and
thus
he
answered
me
:
--
13
"
When
I
had
slept
an
hour
,
I
awoke
,
and
heard
the
noise
of
walking
to
and
fro
over
my
head
.
I
thought
at
first
that
it
was
you
,
but
there
were
at
least
twenty
running
around
;
I
also
heard
conversation
and
cries
.
At
length
came
heavy
steps
upon
the
stairs
.

After
this
I
was
no
longer
conscious
;
but
at
times
my
recollection
returned
for
a
moment
,
and
then
I
saw
the
same
man
who
is
nailed
to
the
mast
,
sit
down
at
that
table
,
singing
and
drinking
;
and
he
who
lies
not
far
from
him
on
the
floor
,
in
a
scarlet
cloak
,
sat
near
him
,
and
helped
him
to
drink
.
"
Thus
spoke
my
old
servant
to
me
.
15
You
may
believe
me
,
my
friends
,
that
all
was
not
right
to
my
mind
;
for
there
was
no
delusion
--
I
too
had
plainly
heard
the
dead
.
To
sail
in
such
company
was
to
me
horrible
;
my
Ibrahim
,
however
,
was
again
absorbed
in
deep
reflection
.
"
I
have
it
now
!
"
he
exclaimed
at
length
;
there
occurred
to
him
,
namely
,
a
little
verse
,
which
his
grandfather
,
a
man
of
experience
and
travel
,
had
taught
him
,
and
which
could
give
assistance
against
every
ghost
and
spectre
.
He
also
maintained
that
we
could
,
the
next
night
,
prevent
the
unnatural
sleep
which
had
come
upon
us
,
by
repeating
right
fervently
sentences
out
of
the
Koran
.
16
The
proposition
of
the
old
man
pleased
me
well
.
In
anxious
expectation
we
saw
the
night
set
in
.
Near
the
cabin
was
a
little
room
,
to
which
we
determined
to
retire
.
We
bored
several
holes
in
the
door
,
large
enough
to
give
us
a
view
of
the
whole
cabin
;
then
we
shut
it
as
firmly
as
we
could
from
within
,
and
Ibrahim
wrote
the
name
of
the
Prophet
in
all
four
corners
of
the
room
.
Thus
we
awaited
the
terrors
of
the
night
.
17
It
might
again
have
been
about
the
eleventh
hour
,
when
a
strong
inclination
for
sleep
began
to
overpower
me
.

My
companion
,
thereupon
,
advised
me
to
repeat
some
sentences
from
the
Koran
,
which
assisted
me
to
retain
my
consciousness
.
All
at
once
it
seemed
to
become
lively
overhead
;
the
ropes
creaked
,
there
were
steps
upon
the
deck
,
and
several
voices
were
plainly
distinguishable
.
We
remained
,
a
few
moments
,
in
intense
anxiety
;
then
we
heard
something
descending
the
cabin
stairs
.
When
the
old
man
became
aware
of
this
,
he
began
to
repeat
the
words
which
his
grandfather
had
taught
him
to
use
against
spirits
and
witchcraft
:
19
"
Come
you
,
from
the
air
descending
,
20
Rise
you
from
the
deep
sea-cave
,
