| Current Search - mast in The Old Man and the Sea |
1 Finally he put the mast down and stood up.
2 Then he shouldered the mast and started to climb.
3 Inside the shack he leaned the mast against the wall.
4 He unstepped the mast and furled the sail and tied it.
5 The mast was nearly as long as the one room of the shack.
6 He picked the mast up and put it on his shoulder and started up the road.
7 He rested sitting on the un-stepped mast and sail and tried not to think but only to endure.
8 But it was too difficult and he sat there with the mast on his shoulder and looked at the road.
9 I must prepare everything, then bring him in and lash him well and step the mast and set sail for home.
10 He started to climb again and at the top he fell and lay for some time with the mast across his shoulder.
11 The old man leaned the mast with its wrapped sail against the wall and the boy put the box and the other gear beside it.
12 They walked down the road to the old man's shack and all along the road, in the dark, barefoot men were moving, carrying the masts of their boats.
13 The old man carried the mast on his shoulder and the boy carried the wooden box with the coiled, hard-braided brown lines, the gaff and the harpoon with its shaft.
14 When they reached the old man's shack the boy took the rolls of line in the basket and the harpoon and gaff and the old man carried the mast with the furled sail on his shoulder.
15 Then he stepped the mast and, with the stick that was his gaff and with his boom rigged, the patched sail drew, the boat began to move, and half lying in the stern he sailed south-west.
16 It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast.
