Synopsis

It was well after midnight when the 23 foot sailboat laden with four missionaries, a large tent, and a load of plantains departed on the Caribbean Sea for an island. Something in the heavy lading caused a large hole in the boat and it began to sink. It was quickly filling up with water and waves were coming over the side of the little boat.

Missionaries were kept safe in the middle of a hurricane. Other missionaries were unharmed when they went into a villag
