While
I
toiled
at
rigging
the
foremast
,
Maud
sewed
on
canvas
,
ready
always
to
drop
everything
and
come
to
my
assistance
when
more
hands
than
two
were
required
.
The
canvas
was
heavy
and
hard
,
and
she
sewed
with
the
regular
sailor
's
palm
and
three-cornered
sail-needle
.
Her
hands
were
soon
sadly
blistered
,
but
she
struggled
bravely
on
,
and
in
addition
doing
the
cooking
and
taking
care
of
the
sick
man
.
"
A
fig
for
superstition
,
"
I
said
on
Friday
morning
.
"
That
mast
goes
in
to-day
.
"
Everything
was
ready
for
the
attempt
.
Carrying
the
boom-tackle
to
the
windlass
,
I
hoisted
the
mast
nearly
clear
of
the
deck
.
Making
this
tackle
fast
,
I
took
to
the
windlass
the
shears-tackle
(
which
was
connected
with
the
end
of
the
boom
)
,
and
with
a
few
turns
had
the
mast
perpendicular
and
clear
.
Maud
clapped
her
hands
the
instant
she
was
relieved
from
holding
the
turn
,
crying
:
"
It
works
!
It
works
!
We
'll
trust
our
lives
to
it
!
"
Then
she
assumed
a
rueful
expression
.
"
It
's
not
over
the
hole
,
"
she
add
.
"
Will
you
have
to
begin
all
over
?
"
I
smiled
in
superior
fashion
,
and
,
slacking
off
on
one
of
the
boom-guys
and
taking
in
on
the
other
,
swung
the
mast
perfectly
in
the
centre
of
the
deck
.
Still
it
was
not
over
the
hole
.
Again
the
rueful
expression
came
on
her
face
,
and
again
I
smiled
in
a
superior
way
.
Slacking
away
on
the
boom-tackle
and
hoisting
an
equivalent
amount
on
the
shears-tackle
,
I
brought
the
butt
of
the
mast
into
position
directly
over
the
hole
in
the
deck
.
Then
I
gave
Maud
careful
instructions
for
lowering
away
and
went
into
the
hold
to
the
step
on
the
schooner
's
bottom
.
I
called
to
her
,
and
the
mast
moved
easily
and
accurately
.
Straight
toward
the
square
hole
of
the
step
the
square
butt
descended
;
but
as
it
descended
it
slowly
twisted
so
that
square
would
not
fit
into
square
.
But
I
had
not
even
a
moment
's
indecision
.
Calling
to
Maud
to
cease
lowering
,
I
went
on
deck
and
made
the
watch-tackle
fast
to
the
mast
with
a
rolling
hitch
.
I
left
Maud
to
pull
on
it
while
I
went
below
.
