Correct Dum Clause Story Endings

The following are the correct dum clause story endings. For extra credit on the dum clause homework, you may translate all five sentences and rank your three favorite endings from 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest). 1 point per correct translation and 1 point for ranking the top 3.

If I can get a reasonable amount of rankings (at least five), I'll compile the results and post the winners. The winners will each get a bonus on the final quiz: +3 (1st place), +2 (2nd place), +1 (3rd place).

Quam celerrime venerunt adiuvandi causa. (Richard Kim)
Comprehendi eum et natavi ad litus.* (Harry Perilstein)
Cecidi. (E Howser)
Sed serius erat quam ut eum servarem. (Eliza Liu)
Meum amicum comprehendi et ex undis eum tractavi.^ (Trevor Donelly)
In the voice of the narrator: Postea, magni pisces eis vescebantur. (Shaun Espenshade)


*I would probably reorder the clauses to put the verbs at the end but this is unnecessary.
^I would drop out the eum because context would suggest the same object as the previous clause but the eum is not grammatically wrong.
