How odd, I thought, that officers, these two, would take their turn at the pumps. |
10 |

Did they not understand their station? Had they so little dignity? How could they expect to keep the respect of their men, if they so lowered themselves, if they so demeaned themselves, if they so compromised their position?

Officers were emerging from below decks, men, too. |

A day after that, access to the open deck was primarily restricted to officers and the duty crew. |
10 |

I have also mentioned the closure of hatches, and the restriction of the open deck primarily to officers and the duty crew. |
10 |
| 19 | 11 |
The storm ropes remained in place, the hatches were kept closed, save for ingress and egress, and few were allowed on deck, other than officers, who were not about the business of the ship. |
10 |

Two officers were on the stern-castle deck, but, at the distance, I could not identify them. |

They both, for the most part, dealt openly with high officers. |
10 |

That we were closer to shore, whatever might be its advantages or disadvantages, did increase the tension on board, and various crew members, acting as spokesmen for one group or another, from one deck or another, urged minor officers to petition for a landing. |

Why else would eyes, after all this time, be given to the great ship? The anxiety of the men was somewhat assuaged when it was made clear to them that the Pani who guarded the ship were not mariners, and that the small number of officers and mariners who came and went upon her, from time to time, wo... |
