Next
day
,
the
mast-steps
clear
and
everything
in
readiness
,
we
started
to
get
the
two
topmasts
aboard
.
The
maintopmast
was
over
thirty
feet
in
length
,
the
foretopmast
nearly
thirty
,
and
it
was
of
these
that
I
intended
making
the
shears
.
It
was
puzzling
work
.
Fastening
one
end
of
a
heavy
tackle
to
the
windlass
,
and
with
the
other
end
fast
to
the
butt
of
the
foretopmast
,
I
began
to
heave
.
Maud
held
the
turn
on
the
windlass
and
coiled
down
the
slack
.
We
were
astonished
at
the
ease
with
which
the
spar
was
lifted
.
It
was
an
improved
crank
windlass
,
and
the
purchase
it
gave
was
enormous
.
Of
course
,
what
it
gave
us
in
power
we
paid
for
in
distance
;
as
many
times
as
it
doubled
my
strength
,
that
many
times
was
doubled
the
length
of
rope
I
heaved
in
.
The
tackle
dragged
heavily
across
the
rail
,
increasing
its
drag
as
the
spar
arose
more
and
more
out
of
the
water
,
and
the
exertion
on
the
windlass
grew
severe
.
But
when
the
butt
of
the
topmast
was
level
with
the
rail
,
everything
came
to
a
standstill
.
"
I
might
have
known
it
,
"
I
said
impatiently
.
"
Now
we
have
to
do
it
all
over
again
.
"
"
Why
not
fasten
the
tackle
part
way
down
the
mast
?
"
Maud
suggested
.
"
It
's
what
I
should
have
done
at
first
,
"
I
answered
,
hugely
disgusted
with
myself
.
Slipping
off
a
turn
,
I
lowered
the
mast
back
into
the
water
and
fastened
the
tackle
a
third
of
the
way
down
from
the
butt
.
In
an
hour
,
what
of
this
and
of
rests
between
the
heaving
,
I
had
hoisted
it
to
the
point
where
I
could
hoist
no
more
.
Eight
feet
of
the
butt
was
above
the
rail
,
and
I
was
as
far
away
as
ever
from
getting
the
spar
on
board
.
I
sat
down
and
pondered
the
problem
.
It
did
not
take
long
.
I
sprang
jubilantly
to
my
feet
.
"
Now
I
have
it
!
"
I
cried
.
"
I
ought
to
make
the
tackle
fast
at
the
point
of
balance
.
And
what
we
learn
of
this
will
serve
us
with
everything
else
we
have
to
hoist
aboard
.
"
Once
again
I
undid
all
my
work
by
lowering
the
mast
into
the
water
.
But
I
miscalculated
the
point
of
balance
,
so
that
when
I
heaved
the
top
of
the
mast
came
up
instead
of
the
butt
.
Maud
looked
despair
,
but
I
laughed
and
said
it
would
do
just
as
well
.
