An extraordinary hush descends. No one speaks more than necessary. The crew seeks to relieve its mounting frustration through another day of blasting. This work endows the men with a sense of power and possibility. It gives them something to do.

Miertsching feels compelled to counsel McClure. Despite the brother’s own doubts and fears, despite the expected resistance or lecture on the unsuitability of land-based Christianity, he prepares himself to offer up some hopeful message. The captain saves him the effort.

“I have arrived at the genuine conviction that a Higher Power, an Almighty Providence, is watching over and shielding us,” McClure declares, “and that under this protection, none of us will lose our lives. We will all reach our home and families again. Of this, I am certain.”
