The wind becoming fair, they sailed from the island. They had not gone far when the weather changed, and a storm of thunder and lightning ensued. A stroke of lightning shattered their mast, which in its fall killed the pilot. At last the vessel itself went to pieces. The keel and mast floating side by side, Ulysses formed of them a raft to which he clung; and, the wind changing, the waves bore him to Calypso's island. All the rest of the crew perished.
*Check over your writing project and e-mail it to me at built_upon_the_rock@yahoo.com before 12pm on Wednesday. Put HOMER B in the subjest line.
I will also be teaching Latin II, but I want to watch and observe for the next few weeks. It is a Latin Curriculum that I am not familiar with. So.... I will be the student for a while.
