Whole years passed — she was to 3 1 A LEGEND OF THE SEA all seeming invincible, she helped other ships and took in on her deck drowning passengers.
Blind faith increased every day in the breasts of the crew on " The Purple. " They grew slothful in good fortune and forgot their... own art, they forgot how to navigate. " Our 1 Purple ' will sail herself/' said they. "Why toil, why watch the ship, why pull at rudder, masts, sails, and ropes? Why live by hard work and the sweat of our brows, when our ship is divine, indestructible? Let us sail on, let us sail joyously/ ' And they sailed for a very long period.
