en in the
hearing of them all, he bade the winds and the waves, in the name of
his God, to rest from their wrath. O wonderful event! and worthy of
admiration. Forthwith the wind surceased, the ocean became silent, the
tempest is appeased, and a great calm is made. And on that day the
aforementioned brothers happily landed, and told unto all around what
they had suffered from the elements which were turned unto their
destruction, but afterward composed by the powerful prayers of the
saint.

which heard them unto the praise of the God who worked such wonders in
His saints.

left his cowl on the shore. And being landed, they sat together, and
conferred on heavenly things, and refreshed themselves with the comfort
of mutual colloquy. Then the sea, rising as it was wont, covered the
surface of the sands, and was nigh unto bearing with it and carrying
away the cowl of the prelate. And this the saint observing, in the
name of Him who hath power in heaven and on the earth, in the sea and
in all the deeps, enjoined the tide of the sea that it should not touch
his cowl or bear it away. Wonderful was the event! The
flowing-forward of the sea filled the whole accustomed space, save that
spot alone whereon the cowl lay, and that did it leave untouched. An
