—43. come one hour after arrival of the ship, when all sails have been lowered and the anchors have been dropped? Did he come some hours earlier, or did the ship come some time later into the harbor, where there is always a significant protection? What would then have been of the ship? And since the storm was terrible, even in the harbor, the fixed ship was driven away, and the anchors were lost their endhooks. Who is it that has saved the ship? The captain says: the weight of the anchor chains has held the ship. But if the anchor chains break, how is it then known-ly? It is so, as a dear brother said: it is a nuisance of the captain, that the chain should hold the ship. He only knows who has sat on the chain and has held it. Under a hundred ships, not one is saved if the hooks break, they are all flung ashore and disappear. But this is the thing: the ship is secured to the right man. And so it is also. A clear proof that the hero is faithful and the assurance of a ship's safety is secure in him, the loyal hero. Now, thank God, with a profound sense of gratitude, it pleased me that an old faithful Christian, who recently endured long and arduous suffering for many years, finally decided to experience the message of the ship's arrival. Even in the pain of his illness, he was always in Africa and on his lips. He often prayed, may God grant him the first message of the ship to experience. If it is his merciful will and he doesn't ask for too much.
