Synopsis

I HEARD the clatter of the scissors escaping from his hand, noted the perilous heave of his whole person over the edge of the bunk after them, and then, returning to my first purpose, pursued my course on the deck.

The sails hung motionless and slack, the very folds of their sagging surfaces moved no more than carved granite.
