Their water-logged wreck rose and sank with the waves, and yet no boat returned. In vain they scanned the horizon and saw no sign of a boat. They were giving up all hope, when again Francis cheered their drooping spirits: "Have courage, my children," he pleaded, "I tell you they are returning to us." Then he retired to his berth and, once again, fell upon his knees in prayer. Presently the "lookout" shouted, " They are coming, " and every eye took in the rowing men. A cry of joy greeted the saved men, who, reaching the side of the ship, mounted and were embraced by their companions. When the hand-shakings and congratulations were over, the quartermaster gave orders to have the returned boat brought on deck. "Wait, wait," cried one of the rescued men, "Father Francis, where is he? He has not come aboard." The sailors who remained on the ship, hearing the man and his companions thus express themselves, said one to the other: "The poor fellows are out of their minds from long suffering and starvation." But in vain they tried to disabuse the minds of the returned men by pointing to the empty boat, and by assuring them that Father Francis was now on board and had, at no time, left the ship. To the amazement of every one the saved men persisted in asserting that from morning till night and from night till morning, Francis was with them for three days. "No, No," they exclaimed, "we had no fear of being lost or of perishing, for the holy man was with us and told us we would be saved."
