[420] διὰ νηὸς ἐφοίτων, ‘I kept pacing the length of the ship, till the surge loosened the sides from the keel, and a wave carried her along all dismantled, and snapped off her mast close at the keel, but over it (the mast) had been flung, the backstay made of ox-hide; with it I lashed both together, keel and mast.’
