All hands worked at the lines or dressing-down till they fell asleep where they stood--beginning before dawn and ending when it was too dark to see.

They even used the cook as pitcher, and turned Harvey into the hold to pass salt, while Dan helped to dress down.

Luckily a "Parry Norman" man sprained his ankle falling down the fo'c'sle, and the "We're Heres" gained.

Harvey could not see how one more fish could be crammed into her, but Disko and Tom Platt stowed and stowed, and planked the mass down with big stones from the ballast, and there was always "jest another day's work." Disko did not tell them when all the salt was wetted.

He rolled to the lazarette aft the cabin and began hauling out the big mainsail.
