most of the men had been donning money belts crammed with gold. in the midst of high winds and huge waves, the broken ship began to sink.
handiest the men inclined to discard the heavy cash belt had an opportunity of rescue. much wealth and goals were dashed on the rocks of North Carolina. His ship joined the others at the backside of the Atlantic. lifestyles goes on.
