Towards evening the mate and boat - swain begg d the master of our ship to let them cut away the foremast , which he was very unwilling to : but the boat - swain protesting to him , that if he did not , the ship would founder , he consented ; and when they had cut away the foremast , the main - mast stood so loose , and shook the ship so much , they were obliged to cut her away also , and make a clear deck 但水手長抗議說,如果船長不同意砍掉前桅,船就會沉沒。這樣,船長也只好答應了。但船上的前桅一砍下來,主桅隨風搖擺失去了控制,船也隨著劇烈搖晃,于是他們又只得把主桅也砍掉。
