Captain Pecklar had held out as long as it was possible for him to stand / it, and he had only given up when his senses deserted him. Major Pierson / raised him from his position on the floor of the pilot-house, and, with / Christy's assistance, bore him out into the air.
The wheel had gone over when the sick man could no longer hold it, and / the tug was beginning to whirl about in an erratic manner, when the / major rang the bell to stop the engine. The captain was carried down to / his room, and put into his berth, where one of the soldiers was detailed / to act as his nurse.
