Andyet the germ of piety was implanted in the sailor's heart. His religionwas simple, but sincere. Without making professions, he believed in thebeing of a wise and merciful Creator; he believed in a system of futurerewards and punishments; he read his Bible, a book which was alwaysfound in a sailor's chest, pinned his faith upon the Gospels, andtreasured up the precepts of our Saviour; he believed that though hissins were many, his manifold temptations would also be remembered. Hemanifested bu...t little fear of death, relying firmly on the MERCY of theAlmighty.
My description of the uninterrupted labors of the crew on board theClarissa may induce the inquiry how the ship's company could do with solittle sleep, and even if a sailor could catch a cat-nap occasionally inhis watch, what must become of the officers, who are supposed to be wideawake and vigilant during the hours they remain on deck?
I can only say, that on board the Clarissa there was an exception tothis very excellent rule.
