The Wreck of the Delaware

On a stormy and very rainy day the Delaware boat was coming to shore. It was about one hundred metres to the shore and they couldn’t get back to home because the waves were crashing after crunching the whole time. So Henry Squirrell tied a rope to his waist and climbed on the rope but the waves smashed him against the rocks.

Just at that time, Huria Matenga opened her curtains. She saw Henry Squirrell crashing against the rocks. She quickll ran to tell her husband Hemi and Hohepata, their friend. They got a rope and tied it to a rock and to the ship so everyone could climb across the rope and then to shore. In the meantime the sailors were trying to help Henry Squirrell but they couldn’t so they laid him in the bunk by himself.

A couple of minutes later Huria and Hemi were swimming in the fierce waves.
