p.

until the Day of Judgment, & that he
was taken at his word & doomed to
beat against heed winds all his
days. His sails had become threadbare
& his ship's sides white with age, & he
& his crew reduced almost to shadows.
He could not heave to or lower a
boat, but sometimes hailed vessels
through his trumpet.

This is the tradition that
I heard, but I cannot refer you to
any authentic source of information.

Yours respectfully
