All that night we were in a great bustle getting things stowed in their place, and boatfuls of the squires friend, mr. Blandly and the like, coming off to wish him a good voyage and a safe return. We never had a night at the admiral benbow when i had half the work; and i was dog tired when, a little before dawn, the boatswain sounded his pipe and the crew began to man the capstanbars. I might have been twice as weary, yet I would not have left the deck, all was so new and interesting to me- the brief commands, the shrill note of the whistle, the men bustling to their places in the glimmer of the ships lanterns.
I chose this passage because it was one of the first passages of the voyage itself. It described like the hastle of before going out for the voyage and everyone is just being a bit nervouse and the ship is pretty hectic. This is why i chose this passage.

ReplyDeleteThe pirates are probably getting ready to go on their biggest voyage yet, and everyone is in such a rush to get everything done and all the ships prepared for their voyage. Everyone wants things to run smoothly, and for no one to get hurt.

yea chris, thats what i thought aswell, you jsut said it better
ReplyDeletewow chris good analysis, so good, you just made me understand this a little more :)
ReplyDeleteI actually do agree with Chris's analogy because this probably was the cause of all of the chaotic activities on the ship, not really any phisical features like rough seas.
