The sailors were eagerly looking at it.

Perhaps it held a valuable cargo, which it would be possible to transfer to the "Pilgrim." We know that, in these salvages, the third of the value belongs to the rescuers, and, in this case, if the cargo was not damaged, the crew, as they say, would make "a good haul." This would be a fish of consolation for their incomplete fishing.
A quarter of an hour later the wreck was less than a mile from the "Pilgrim." It was indeed a ship, which presented itself on its side, to the starboard.

Capsized as far as the nettings, she heeled so much that it would be almost impossible to stand upon her deck.

Nothing could be seen beyond her masts.

From the port-shrouds were banging only some ends of broken rope, and the chains broken by the cloaks of white-crested waves.
