Two vessels were drawing apart. l
must let go either our own ma1n-sheet
or the bobstay. Twas hard to decide
which to do.
Il felt our vessel shoot down and
ahead In the sea. The big, heavy
chain drew me along our deck to the
rail. / braced my feet against it
and pulled back with all my strength.
grew so confused in the next second
by the drawing apart of the two yes
sells, the thoughts of my duty to our
crew and the terrible roar all round
me that seemed unable to think at
all.
"Tbe chain hid I'm taut and hard.
NV feet Skinned ON the lev rail. nv
knees wabbled. Then off shot from
orr deck after the bark,s stay. nv
feet trailing along in the water. I
red ont 70 orr crew with all NV
might
