noon
The _ Consolacion _ stayed fast , and at dawn was woe to see nothing at all of the three . In the howling tempest and the quarter light we knew not if they were sunk or saved . With the second evening the hurricane sank ; at dawn the seas , though running high , no longer pushed against us like white-maned horses of Death . We waited till noon , then the sea being less mountainous , quitted the Bay of Comfort and went to look for the three ships . The _ Juana _ and the _ San Sebastian _ we presently sighted and rejoiced thereat . But the _ Margarita _ ! We saw her nowhere , and the Admiral 's face grew gray .
