They made a fire—but such a fire as they
Upon the moment could contrive with such
Materials as were cast up round the bay—
Some broken planks, and oars, that to the touch
Were nearly tinder, since, so long they lay,
A mast was almost crumbled to a crutch;
But, by God’s grace, here wrecks were in such plenty,
That there was fuel to have furnished twenty.
