Mederic resumed : " It is affirmed that, at distant intervals, frightful earthquakes wreck continents, upheave the seas, and transform the horizon.
Médéric continua : – À de longs intervalles, assure-t-on, d’effrayantes secousses brisent les continents, soulèvent les mers, changent les horizons.

For I assure you that if this young man will only listen to me, he will then become the agent of destruction, the avenger and punisher, implanted in the factory to wreck it! "

Rather than wreck my command on the Canada shore, I shall feel it a duty to take Jasper out of arrest."

To permit rapid evacuation in the event of wreck or fire, the accommodation must be provided with emergency exits, distant from each other if possible, and where possible to port and starboard.
Pour permettre l'évacuation rapide en cas de naufrage ou d'incendie, les logements doivent être pourvus d'issues de secours si possible éloignées les unes des autres et devant se trouver autant que possible à babord et à tribord.

There were no signs of Sandy; somewhere within a hundred yards he was fighting his own battles, and I was tormented by the thought that he might get jumpy again and wreck everything.
Sandy ne donnait plus signe de vie, car il était tout occupé à livrer ses propres batailles à une centaine de mètres de nous, et j’étais tourmenté par la pensée qu’il pouvait tout perdre en redevenant la proie de ses nerfs.

We thought he might, at least, have had it whitewashed or tarred - had SOMETHING done to it to distinguish it from a bit of a wreck; but he could not see any fault in it.
Il aurait pu au moins, grognâmes-nous, le faire badigeonner à la chaux ou au goudron, y ajouter quoi que ce fût susceptible de le distinguer d’une épave. Mais il se refusait à lui trouver un seul défaut.
