**as we were driven--**drifting
**up and down in Adria--**the Adriatic, that sea which lies between Greece and Italy.
**about midnight the shipmen deemed--**no doubt from the peculiar sound of the breakers.
**that they drew near some country--**"that some land was approaching them." This nautical language gives a graphic character to the narrative.
