"Faced with what seemed a hopeless situation,
we dreamed and dozed.
The stale air dulled our senses."
"We prayed in silence.
God, please get us out of this.
Grant us a reprieve so that we may see our loved ones... sail away on another ship in more peaceful waters...............
See the sun and the sky and the stars again.
Forgive us for our sins."
Stephen B. Young, Sea 1/c
