In the act of offering up his last prayer ere he made up his mind to float and be eaten, he saw a man look over the quarter of the brig : he raised both his hands ; he jumped himself up in the water, and, by the singularity of his motions fortunately attracted notice.
En accomplissant sa dernière prière avant de se décider à flotter et à se faire manger, il vit un homme regarder par-dessus le quartier du brick : il leva ses deux mains ; il se leva d'un bond dans l'eau et, par la singularité de ses mouvements, se fit heureusement remarquer.
