Nicholas immediately hurries to the ship and brought before them, saying, "So you called me, and I have come to protect you." Then, encourage them, he is taken in their eyes at the stern, and it seemed to them, guides the path of the ship.
Then the word calms the sea and, as once my Jesus calms the waves, the wind and all that brings with it a storm, and makes swimming for them calm and safe.

During his earthly life, he made so many good things for the glory of God, that they are not listed, but among them there is one which is one of the virtues, and to that served as the basis of their commission that moved the saint to exploit - his faith, awesome, strong, zealous.
