Summary of narrative | |||
Setting: | On the way to Acre | Protagonist(s): | pilgrims to Acre, including a bishop |
A ship, carrying over eight hundred pilgrims, was sailing to Acre when a storm arose, tearing the rigging and causing it to sink. The passengers, including a bishop, climbed into a lifeboat. One man, who tried to jump from the ship into the lifeboat, tripped on some rope and plunged into the sea. The people in the lifeboat rowed, then unfurled a sail and made for shore. On the shore they discovered the man who had fallen overboard. When they asked him what had saved him, he said it was the Virgin. All the people sang her praises. |
