*Appears from shadows with the line in hand*
"It appears that I have forgotten something..."
*Hands the line to Kurisutofa*
"Here ya go."

-Upon arriving, he calls out to the Cap'n and Mr. Ilor.-
"I brought back the tools that were needed. The family are now residents of this town, so I bid them farewell. Mr. Ilor, did you happen to get the paints the cap'n requested?"

((The linegun would have sufficed, Ph-Ilor))
*Standing and grabbing the line from Mr. Ilor, Kuriautofa lashed a large lanyard to the tip of it and then wound the lanyard around the capstan. Fast secured, the Captain then began to push the capstan about until the slack was taken in. Turning and looking to Mr. Ilor*
"I WANT ALL HANDS MANNING THE CAPSTAN. MAN, WOMAN & CHILD."
*Seeing that there was a quartermile of hemp line that had to run about the capstan before the ship was brought up onshore, the Crew needed to get to it right away.*
"Let's get this whale beached, Mr Ilor. Lively now. Step to it."

Just as Kauro reached to deck he heard the Captain's call and quickly made his way over to the capstan.

*Nodding to the Crew as they began to appear on the fore'deck, he looks to Miss Lutra & Mr. Kauro. They were young and of slight build, but were willing to give it their all. He admired their willingness to do their duty, but that wouldn't be enough man power. They needed the rest of the Crew. The Lady Washington was a five hundred ton ship...*
"More... Lots more."

Hearing the Captain's voice from the galley, Destiny made her way up to the deck, after taking care to bank the stove.
Seeing the others at the capstan, she walked over, and took a place at one of the bars, pausing only a moment to wipe the rain out of her eyes, then resettleing her hat.

*Turning to Quasan*
"No, I haven't gotten the paint yet some pressing issues have surfaced, I'll get on that as soon as I can."
*Shouting out to the crew to make sure everyone heard the captains order, while rushing to the capstan*
"EVERYONE TO THE CAPSTAN! WE'VE GOT TO BEACH THE LADY!"
*Taking a place, he gets ready to help out*
((yeah yeah linegun shminegun))

"MAN THE CAPSTAN'RAIL!"
*Taking a bar at the Capstan, he put his shoulder into it and dug his foot against the deck. Gesturing the rest of the Crew & Gun Crew, he raised his a hand and motioned fore'ward.*
"General Taylor Shanty! On six..."
*All hands now in place, the order is called*
"TWO- 'HEAVE AWAY MY LADS & LASS'S!' - SIX!"
*Grasping the bar with a firm grasp, he begins the long haul and starts the procession*
General Taylor Gained the Day,
WALK HIM ALONG, JOHN, CARRY HIM ALONG
General Taylor Gained the Day
CARRY HIM TO HIS BURYIN' GROUND.
Tim'me way-hay, ya' Stormy,
Walk him along, John, carry him along,
Tim'me way-hay ya' Stormy,
Carry him to his buryin' ground...
*As the capstan began to turn, the cable tightened and began to haul the mooring line through the cathead and through the bulwark. The ship creeked and groaned, but as of yet, the Lady refused to budge an inch.*
"TWO - SIX!"
We dug his grave with a silver spade,
Walk him along, John, carry him along...
His shroud of the finest silk was made
Carry him to his buryin' ground...
Oh, ye' who dig ol' Stormy's grave,
Walk him along, John, carry him along...
Dig it deep and make it safe.
Carry him to his buryin' ground...
Tim'me WAY-HAY Stormy,
Walk him along, John, carry him along...
Tim'me WAY-HAY Stormy,
Carry him to his buryin' ground...
*The storm blew hard, yet the shanty seemed to carry across the water. The wind, now at Gale Force, whirred about their gear within about the rigging. Lines rattled and the water whipped up and across the side and slushed across the deck. The Lady would soon be safe from these dangerous warnings from the sea and it's god Neptune.*

-Rowing to the ship within a small skiff, he tied up alongside and came aboard. Stowing away his tools, he came to the bow and manned the capstan with the others.-

-After covering up the top of the nest, she made her way down to the deck, to help heave the Lady onto the shore. She grabbed an empty spot on a capstan bar and put in her all to help. She wasn't the strongest woman aboard, but she'd hoped what little strength she had would help.-

*Hearing the order, she ran to the capstan and worked as hard as she could. Every hand counts, afterall, no matter how much muscle a person has on him.*

Fallowing the Captain's lead Kauro garbed hold of the bar beside Lutra and began to push with all his might. " Come on...move dang-it." Growled the youth as he dug in to the deck with his feet trying to not to slip.
