Read the passage. from Make Westing 1 For seven weeks the Mary Rogers had been between 50^circ south in the Atlantic and 50^circ south in the Pacific which meant that for seven weeks she had been struggling to round Cape Horn. __ For seven weeks she had wrestled with the Cape Horn graybeards and in return been buffeted and smashed by them. She was a wooden ship, and her ceaseless straining had opened her seams, so that twice a day the watch took its turn at the pumps. 2 The Mary Rogers was strained, the crew was strained, and big Dan Cullen. master, was likewise strained Perhaps he was strained most of all, for upon him rested the responsibility of that titanic struggle. He slept most of the time in his clothes, though he rarely slept. He haunted the deck at night, a great, burly. robust ghost, black with the sunburn of thirty years of sea and hairy as an orang-utan. He, in turn was haunted by one thought of action, a sailing direction for the Horn: Whatever you do, make westing!make westing!
