the warship U. S. S. Wateree rode on the crest of a tsunami and （加个then吧）came to rest in the Atacama Desert

意思就是说:  warship U. S. S ，原来停在 harbor of Arica，但是遭遇了tsunami，于是被 海啸的巨浪打到 Atacama Desert

你们太快了 我还在慢慢翻译...

warship XXX原本停在harbor of Arica,穿过海啸的波浪, 最后停在XXX,这个地方离原来的停泊处大约3miles的海岸和2英里的内陆那么远

我想问一下C中间的and前为什么没有逗号？不是anchored rode 和 came并列吗？

Run-on Sentence
B.     rode on the crest of a tsunami (seismic sea wave), while it came to rest in the Atacama Desert,  
原句并没有要表达转折的意思
C.     rode on the crest of a tsunami (seismic sea wave) and came to rest in the Atacama Desert,
D.     riding on the crest of a tsunami (seismic sea wave), to come to rest in the Atacama Desert  (C)
E.     riding on the crest of a tsunami (seismic sea wave), it had come to rest in the Atacama Desert, which is                                             it多余，时态也不正确
注意，由于有“逗号”，说明anchored不是谓语；虽然the warship后面有两个修饰成分，但是并没有问题，因为off the coast很明显是用来修饰anchored这个短语的！在OG里面也遇到过这种情况！

ppx ，我在纠结这里anchored 做谓语过去式还是分词修饰的问题，因为主语后面有两个逗号分割的修饰语，有点犹豫因为以往见过的这种都表示很wordy，求og 你说的这样的例子！
