great fright among the people who have no God; the English clergyman was
much aroused, ran to them, and preached repentance, saying among other
things that they could now see the difference. I was content, for our
lives are in God's hands, and He does what He will; among us there was
no fear, for the Lord helped us.

(There was a terrible storm which lasted till midnight. During the song
service a great wave struck the ship with a noise like the roar of a
cannon. The wind tore the strong new sail in two; the people, especially
the English women, screamed and wept; the preacher Wesley, who is always
with us in our song service, cried out against the English, "Now man can
see who has a God, and who has none." During the last eight days we have
had so much contrary wind, and so many storms that we could not approach
the land, though we were near it several times.--Dober's Diary.)

At noon our third storm began. At four it was more violent than before.
The winds roared round about us, and whistled as distinctly as if it had
been a human voice. The ship not only rocked to and fro with the utmost
violence, but shook and jarred with so unequal, grating, a motion, that
one could not but with great difficulty keep one's hold of anything, nor
stand a moment without it. Every ten minutes came a shock against the
stern or side of the ship, which one would think should dash the planks
to pieces.

We spent two or three hours after prayers, in conversing suitably to the
occasion, confirming one another in a calm submission to the wise, holy,
gracious will of God. And now a storm did not appear so terrible as
before. Blessed be the God of all consolation!

At seven I went to the Germans; I had long before observed the great
seriousness of their behaviour. Of their humility they had given a
continual proof, by performing those servile offices for the other
passengers, which none of the English would undertake; for which they
desired, and would receive no pay, saying "It was good for

 things that they could nowadays see the difference. I was subject, for our 
 lives are in God's hands, and He do what He will; among us there was 
 no fear, for the Lord helped us.
