The sailors went back to their sculling, and the coxswain steered the longboat toward the floating barrel.

水手们又起来，小艇艇长让小艇向浮桶。

But thanks to our skillful coxswain, we were fouled on the bias rather than broadside, so we didn't capsize.

这水必须排出。由于艇长的机灵，艇身只是斜面的而不是正面的受到马攻击，所以没被憧翻沉没。

Every paddle must be synchronized to the stroke count of the coxswain.

每个桨必须与舵手的水计数同步。

Six rowers sat on the thwarts, and the coxswain took the tiller. Ned, Conseil, and I found seats in the stern.

六个桨手木板上，小艇艇长手把着舵。尼德，兰、康塞尔和我，我们三人后面。

The longboat's coxswain took the tiller; his four companions leaned into their oars; the moorings were cast off and we pulled clear.

The coxswain pronounced a few words in his bizarre language, and no doubt he alerted his men to keep on their guard.

小艇艇长说了几句他的奇怪语言，当然是他通知水手们，大家要小心警戒。

每名船员有七名学生——一艘小橡皮艇的每一侧各三名，一名舵手帮助引导肮脏的船。
