He too had immediately understood the cause of the threatening blows, and that had sufficed to dispel every trace of sea-sickness. In the hold he in fact saw that the axis of the drum had got loosened from its upper frame, and that the blocks of especially hard wood, which had been carefully prepared and fitted for the protection of the frame, were wanting. The French ship's carpenters at first pretended not to know what had become of them, but when the blows increased in strength, and my broth...er called out that we should all be lost, if the wood was not immediately brought, their memory returned, and the blocks were produced.

Meanwhile the blows had increased to such a degree that everybody was seized with fear lest the vessel should no longer resist them.
