Explanation:
This statement shows the extreme conditions in which the narrator and his family were in. The chances of their survival were not much and this statement is a kind of their goodbye to each other because they thought they were going to die.
When captain Gordon Cook took his family in a sea journey near the coast of Plymouth they were struck by a violent storm in which their ship was badly destroyed.
The second engine was struck by the storm and it had stopped working and their only hope to survive was if the storm could subside and they can hoist their sail in order to reach the nearest coast. They were afraid that all of them would die in this storm but, due to the courageous and sensible decisions taken by Cook, they were all saved.
