恐觸石、於舟尾投四錨、以冀天明、

恐觸石、舟尾投四錨以待旦、

恐觸石、則於舟尾投四錨、以俟旦、

Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.

They were afraid we would crash against the rocks. So they dropped four anchors from the back of the ship. They prayed that daylight would come.

And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

At this rate they were afraid we would soon be driven against the rocks along the shore, so they threw out four anchors from the back of the ship and prayed for daylight.

Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.

Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

既曳小艇上、即以大索護舟底；又恐於賽耳底沙灘擱淺、乃降帆、任舟飄蕩。

長夜漫漫。惟主是盼。盼主不至。坐以待旦。

於是斷纜棄錨海中、並弛舵索揚前帆、順風向岸而駛；值兩水交流之處、舟即擱淺、舟首膠定不動、而舟尾為濤瀾擊破。

此恩諾實為吾人停泊之所、前途遠大、希望無窮、穩而且固。此望也、乃吾人靈魂之鐵錨、而糺於閟帷深處者也。

舟子欲潛自離舟、以拋錨舟首為名、下小艇於海。

然必擱於一島矣。』
