"Not likely to get a fix on our position very soon, but
see that it’s done. I don’t like to be blind for very long.”
“Yes, sir. It’ll be done.” “ When the Third's finished with
the sails, have him check the hold. Find out if we’re
taking in water. Have him make sure the tea’s not shifting.”
“Aye, sir. Check for water in the hold and make sure the
tea’s not shifting.” “When the Second's completed
battening down the hatches, have him rig the life lines.”
“Aye, aye, sir.” “Who’s at the wheel?” “Erik Johansen, captain.”
“Good!” “Any other orders, sir?” “Not now. Maybe later.
You can go.” First Mate took leave of the captain going topside
to issue the orders that duty and safety required. He gained the upper
deck in time to see Larsen descending a windward shroud; he noticed
the reefing was completed. Others, like Larsen, were coming down
out of the top’ls.
