9、 the shore. In this tideless water she lay as still and secure as if fastened to a wall. In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor masters boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that t
10、he ship was in danger. She looked so calm and seaworthy. From time to time there was activity on board: When a land wind rose in the evenings, the tankers engines came to life.

15、 lost to sight behind the flames. Two bodies were washed ashore in the bay. They were stripped to the waist, bare-footed, and black with flash burns.
