16mo. 16pp. With two wood-graved illustrations in the text. Original publisher's buff pictorial wrappers. Lower wrapper and final four leaves damp-stained.

The second located copy of an anonymous, purportedly true, account of six infant children inadvertently cast out to sea on a fishing boat on Wednesday 17th September, 1845, where they remained adrift until the following afternoon when a chance encounter with a trawler proved their salvation. The latter half of the text is devoted to a rather clumsy attempt to couch the event as a metaphor for Christ's deliverance of man from sin, the saviour cast as a 'Heavenly Pilot' wielding a 'Gospel net' to rescue sinners from Satan's 'Ocean of Death!'
