Instructing
her
how
to
hold
the
turn
and
be
ready
to
slack
away
at
command
,
I
laid
hold
of
the
mast
with
my
hands
and
tried
to
balance
it
inboard
across
the
rail
.
When
I
thought
I
had
it
I
cried
to
her
to
slack
away
;
but
the
spar
righted
,
despite
my
efforts
,
and
dropped
back
toward
the
water
.
Again
I
heaved
it
up
to
its
old
position
,
for
I
had
now
another
idea
.
I
remembered
the
watch-tackle
--
a
small
double
and
single
block
affair
--
and
fetched
it
.
While
I
was
rigging
it
between
the
top
of
the
spar
and
the
opposite
rail
,
Wolf
Larsen
came
on
the
scene
.
We
exchanged
nothing
more
than
good-mornings
,
and
,
though
he
could
not
see
,
he
sat
on
the
rail
out
of
the
way
and
followed
by
the
sound
all
that
I
did
.
Again
instructing
Maud
to
slack
away
at
the
windlass
when
I
gave
the
word
,
I
proceeded
to
heave
on
the
watch-tackle
.
Slowly
the
mast
swung
in
until
it
balanced
at
right
angles
across
the
rail
;
and
then
I
discovered
to
my
amazement
that
there
was
no
need
for
Maud
to
slack
away
.
In
fact
,
the
very
opposite
was
necessary
.
Making
the
watch-tackle
fast
,
I
hove
on
the
windlass
and
brought
in
the
mast
,
inch
by
inch
,
till
its
top
tilted
down
to
the
deck
and
finally
its
whole
length
lay
on
the
deck
.
I
looked
at
my
watch
.
It
was
twelve
o'clock
.
My
back
was
aching
sorely
,
and
I
felt
extremely
tired
and
hungry
.
And
there
on
the
deck
was
a
single
stick
of
timber
to
show
for
a
whole
morning
's
work
.
For
the
first
time
I
thoroughly
realized
the
extent
of
the
task
before
us
.
But
I
was
learning
,
I
was
learning
.
The
afternoon
would
show
far
more
accomplished
.
And
it
did
;
for
we
returned
at
one
o'clock
,
rested
and
strengthened
by
a
hearty
dinner
.
In
less
than
an
hour
I
had
the
maintopmast
on
deck
and
was
constructing
the
shears
.
Lashing
the
two
topmasts
together
,
and
making
allowance
for
their
unequal
length
,
at
the
point
of
intersection
I
attached
the
double
block
of
the
main
throat-halyards
.
This
,
with
the
single
block
and
the
throat-halyards
themselves
,
gave
me
a
hoisting
tackle
.
To
prevent
the
butts
of
the
masts
from
slipping
on
the
deck
,
I
nailed
down
thick
cleats
.
Everything
in
readiness
,
I
made
a
line
fast
to
the
apex
of
the
shears
and
carried
it
directly
to
the
windlass
.
I
was
growing
to
have
faith
in
that
windlass
,
for
it
gave
me
power
beyond
all
expectation
.
As
usual
,
Maud
held
the
turn
while
I
heaved
.
The
shears
rose
in
the
air
.
Then
I
discovered
I
had
forgotten
guy-ropes
.
This
necessitated
my
climbing
the
shears
,
which
I
did
twice
,
before
I
finished
guying
it
fore
and
aft
and
to
either
side
.
Twilight
had
set
in
by
the
time
this
was
accomplished
.
Wolf
Larsen
,
who
had
sat
about
and
listened
all
afternoon
and
never
opened
his
mouth
,
had
taken
himself
off
to
the
galley
and
started
his
supper
.
I
felt
quite
stiff
across
the
small
of
the
back
,
so
much
so
that
I
straightened
up
with
an
effort
and
with
pain
.
I
looked
proudly
at
my
work
.
It
was
beginning
to
show
.
I
was
wild
with
desire
,
like
a
child
with
a
new
toy
,
to
hoist
something
with
my
shears
.
"
I
wish
it
were
n't
so
late
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
'd
like
to
see
how
it
works
.
"
"
Do
n't
be
a
glutton
,
Humphrey
,
"
Maud
chided
me
.
"
Remember
,
to-morrow
is
coming
,
and
you
're
so
tired
now
that
you
can
hardly
stand
.
"
