The captain
In this excerpt, the captain has saved the ship so the Governor may now travel to wherever he pleases. The Governor had been waiting on the shore until the ship could be deemed safe for his passage. The wording clearly shows that the speaker is grateful for this person who has saved him. The words "deliverer" and "a man sent from Heaven" indicate the heroic attributes the speaker feels the captain has. We know it is not actually Jesus or God because the word "him" is not capitalized. Since Heaven is capitalized in this excerpt, the author would also have capitalized him if it was referring to Jesus or God.
