Timolaus

Did they tell you how he brought them here, and all their adventures? how they were saved by a star?

Lycinus

No; you can tell us about that now,

Timolaus

I had it from the master, a nice intelligent fellow to talk to. They set sail with a moderate wind from Pharus, and sighted Acamas on the seventh day. Then a west wind got up, and they were carried as far east as Sidon. On their way thence they came in for a heavy gale, and the tenth day brought them through the Straits to the Chelidon Isles; and there they very nearly went to the bottom.

TIMOLAUS

Did you hear how he brought the ship here, what happened to those on board, and how they were saved by a star?

LYCINUS

No, Timolaus, but I’d very much like to.

TIMOLAUS

The captain himself told me—a good man, and good company. When they left Pharos, he said, the wind was not very strong, and they sighted Acamas in seven days. Then it blew against them from the west, and they were driven abeam to Sidon. After Sidon a severe storm broke and carried them through Aulon to reach the Chelidonenses on the tenth day. There they were all nearly drowned.
