of_o she_o in_o this_o wise_a twenty_o man_n in_o one_o place_n and_o twenty_o man_n in_o another_o place_n and_o twenty_o in_o another_o place_n and_o for_o all_o this_o storm_n the_o ship_n be_v so_o good_a that_o she_o take_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o water_n alow_o through_o the_o side_n but_o all_o run_v down_o through_o the_o hatch_n that_o those_o sixty_o man_n do_v nothing_o but_o cast_v
