He was shamed and repentant. What to do next, was the question of his soul. He could not undo the past, but, thank God, there was still a present and a future!
Bowing himself in eager and earnest prayer Serra pleaded that his faith be not shamed, and, to his intense delight, doubtless while he prayed, the vessel sailed into the bay.
