During this week, Pencroft, aided by Herbert, who handled the sailmaker's needle with much skill, worked with such energy that the sails of the vessel were finished. There was no want of cordage.
Durante aquella semana, Pencroff, ayudado por Harbert, que manejaba hábilmente la aguja del velero, trabajó con tal ardor, que quedaron terminadas las velas de la embarcación.
