The Wreck of the Delaware

One morning, in 1863 there was a girl called Huria. She was in bed and there was a terrible storm. Huria looked out to the Delaware boat. She saw the Delaware had crashed into the rocks. She ran out to the beach with her companions to save the crew of the Delaware. One of the crew said, “I will swim to shore,” but he crashed into the rocks. Huria swam to the boat and back to shore with the rope. The crew climbed across the rope. Huria and her companions got a gold or silver watch and that’s how the Delaware was wrecked.
