1. À midi les vagues étaient comme des montagnes. Notre bateau montait et descendait, montait et descendait. L'eau s'écrasait sur le pont. Une fois, deux fois, nous avons pensé que notre ancre s'était détachée. Le capitaine a ordonné de jeter une autre ancre. Maintenant nous avions deux ancres qui nous tenaient.
At noon
the waves
were
like
mountains.
Our boat
went up
and
down,
up
and
down.
The water
crashed
on
the deck.
Once,
twice,
we
thought
that
our anchor
had come loose.
The captain
ordered
to throw
another anchor.
Now
we
had
two anchors
that
us
held.
