That
morning
,
John
seeing
that
the
wind
was
in
their
favor
,
rigged
up
the
royal-yard
in
the
middle
of
the
raft
as
a
mast
.
It
was
stayed
with
shrouds
,
and
carried
a
makeshift
sail
.
A
large
broad-bladed
oar
was
fixed
behind
to
act
as
a
rudder
in
case
the
wind
was
sufficient
to
require
it
.
The
greatest
pains
had
been
expended
on
strengthening
the
raft
to
resist
the
force
of
the
waves
,
but
the
question
remained
whether
,
in
the
event
of
a
change
of
wind
,
they
could
steer
,
or
indeed
,
whether
they
could
hope
ever
to
reach
the
land
.
At
nine
o'clock
they
began
to
load
.
First
came
the
provisions
,
in
quantity
sufficient
to
last
till
they
should
reach
Auckland
,
for
they
could
not
count
on
the
productions
of
this
barren
region
.
Olbinett
's
stores
furnished
some
preserved
meat
which
remained
of
the
purchase
made
for
their
voyage
in
the
Macquarie
.
This
was
but
a
scanty
resource
.
They
had
to
fall
back
on
the
coarse
viands
of
the
ship
;
sea
biscuits
of
inferior
quality
,
and
two
casks
of
salt
fish
.
The
steward
was
quite
crestfallen
.
These
provisions
were
put
in
hermetically
sealed
cases
,
staunch
and
safe
from
sea
water
,
and
then
lowered
on
to
the
raft
and
strongly
lashed
to
the
foot
of
the
mast
.
The
arms
and
ammunition
were
piled
in
a
dry
corner
.
Fortunately
the
travelers
were
well
armed
with
carbines
and
revolvers
.
A
holding
anchor
was
also
put
on
board
in
case
John
should
be
unable
to
make
the
land
in
one
tide
,
and
would
have
to
seek
moorings
.
At
ten
o'clock
the
tide
turned
.
The
breeze
blew
gently
from
the
northwest
,
and
a
slight
swell
rocked
the
frail
craft
.
"
Are
we
ready
?
"
asked
John
.
"
All
ready
,
captain
,
"
answered
Wilson
.
"
All
aboard
!
"
cried
John
.
