| 1. | After the third shock was over , and i felt no more for some time , i began to take courage , and yet i had not heart enough to go over my wall again , for fear of being buried alive , but sat still upon the ground , greatly cast down and disconsolate , not knowing what to do : all this while i had not the least serious religious thought , nothing but the common , lord ha mercy upon me ; and when it was over , that went away too
这三次震动，其强烈程度，足以把地面上最坚固的建筑物震倒。离我大约半英里之外靠近海边的一座小山的岩顶，被震得崩裂下来，那山崩地裂的巨响，把我吓得半死，我平生从未听到过这么可怕的声响。这时，大海汹涌震荡，我想海底下一定比岛上震动得更激烈。 |
