Dick
Sand
,
accompanied
by
Bat
and
Austin
,
climbed
into
the
rigging
of
the
foremast
,
and
succeeded
,
not
without
trouble
,
in
taking
in
the
top-sail
.
In
less
threatening
weather
he
would
have
left
the
two
yards
on
the
mast
,
but
,
foreseeing
that
he
would
probably
be
obliged
to
level
that
mast
,
and
perhaps
even
to
lay
it
down
upon
the
deck
,
he
unrigged
the
two
yards
and
sent
them
to
the
deck
.
In
fact
,
it
is
understood
that
when
the
wind
becomes
too
strong
,
not
only
must
the
sails
be
diminished
,
but
also
the
masting
.
That
is
a
great
relief
to
the
ship
,
which
,
carrying
less
weight
above
,
is
no
longer
so
much
strained
with
the
rolling
and
pitching
.
This
first
work
accomplished
--
and
it
took
two
hours
--
Dick
Sand
and
his
companions
were
busy
reducing
the
surface
of
the
top-sail
,
by
taking
in
two
reefs
.
The
"
Pilgrim
"
did
not
carry
,
like
the
majority
of
modern
ships
,
a
double
top-sail
,
which
facilitates
the
operation
.
It
was
necessary
,
then
,
to
work
as
formerly
--
that
is
to
say
,
to
run
out
on
the
foot-ropes
,
pull
toward
you
a
sail
beaten
by
the
wind
,
and
lash
it
firmly
with
its
reef-lines
.
It
was
difficult
,
long
,
perilous
;
but
,
finally
,
the
diminished
top-sail
gave
less
surface
to
the
wind
,
and
the
schooner
was
much
relieved
.
Dick
Sand
came
down
again
with
Bat
and
Austin
.
The
"
Pilgrim
"
was
then
in
the
sailing
condition
demanded
by
that
state
of
the
atmosphere
which
has
been
qualified
as
"
very
stiff
.
"
During
the
three
days
which
followed
,
20th
,
21st
and
22d
of
February
,
the
force
and
direction
of
the
wind
were
not
perceptibly
changed
.
All
the
time
the
mercury
continued
to
fall
in
the
barometrical
tube
,
and
,
on
this
last
day
,
the
novice
noted
that
it
kept
continually
below
twenty-eight
and
seven-tenths
inches
.
Besides
,
there
was
no
appearance
that
the
barometer
would
rise
for
some
time
.
The
aspect
of
the
sky
was
bad
,
and
extremely
windy
.
Besides
,
thick
fogs
covered
it
constantly
.
Their
stratum
was
even
so
deep
that
the
sun
was
no
longer
seen
,
and
it
would
have
been
difficult
to
indicate
precisely
the
place
of
his
setting
and
rising
.
Dick
Sand
began
to
be
anxious
.
He
no
longer
left
the
deck
;
he
hardly
slept
.
However
,
his
moral
energy
enabled
him
to
drive
back
his
fears
to
the
bottom
of
his
heart
.
The
next
day
,
February
22d
,
the
breeze
appeared
to
decrease
a
little
in
the
morning
,
but
Dick
Sand
did
not
trust
in
it
.
He
was
right
,
for
in
the
afternoon
the
wind
freshened
again
,
and
the
sea
became
rougher
.
Toward
four
o'clock
,
Negoro
,
who
was
rarely
seen
,
left
his
post
and
came
up
on
the
forecastle
.
Dingo
,
doubtless
,
was
sleeping
in
some
corner
,
for
it
did
not
bark
as
usual
.
Negoro
,
always
silent
,
remained
for
half
an
hour
observing
the
horizon
.
