Not illustrated. 1846 Excerpt: ... themselves to this frail bark, in the midst of the ocean, in the hope that they may reach land, or meet with some vessel that may rescue them from their perilous condition. 9. When the shore is near at hand, it is often difficult to reach it in safety. It sometimes happens that the boat gets swamped, when those who had taken to it are thrown upon their personal resources.
