Josephé did as the voice commanded and called
all
those who carried the holy vessel and had them enter the sea and he
said
to them "Go with assurance for the virtue of the precious vessel will
guide
you." And they all entered the sea without fear or doubt and began to
walk
on the water as if they were on dry land and carried with them the holy
vessel which was called the holy grail. And when Josephé saw
then
travelling in this way he took off his shirt and put on his other robe
and then told his father to put his foot on the hem of the shirt. And
he
was far out to sea and had spread out the hem of the garment as if it
was
on land and then Joseph came forward and put his foot on it, and called
another relative whose name was Dro and his twelve fair and fine
children
and when he had called them he stood on the hem of the garment just as
Joseph had done. After that came all the others, one after the
other...(translated
