The Voyages of Sindbad (34)
When night came we returned to the castle, having sought in vain for any other place of shelter.
At sunset the Giant returned, supped upon one of our unhappy comrades, slept till dawn, and then left us as before.
Our condition seemed so frightful tha several of my companions thought it would be better to leap from the cliffs and perish in the waves rather than await so miserable an end ; but I had a plan of escape which I now unfolded to them, and which they at once agreed to attempt.
" Listen, my brothers, " I added, " Plenty of driftwood lies along the shore. Let us make several rafts, and carry them to a suitable place. If our plot succeeds, we can wait for the chance of some passing ship to rescue us. If it fails, we must quickly take our rafts ; frail as they are, we have more chance of saving our lives with them than we have if we remain here. "
All agreed with me, and we spent the day in building rafts, each capable of carrying three persons.
