उत्तर
(i) When the rough weather began, the captain slowed down the boat by dropping the storm jib. He lashed heavy mooring rope in a loop across the stern. They prepared themselves for the worst-case scenario by double lashing everything, going through the life-raft drill, attaching lifelines and donning life jackets, and oilskins. Later, the narrator managed to stretch canvas and secure waterproof hatch covers across the gaping holes.
(ii) To check the flooding of water in the ship, he put waterproof hatch covers across the gaping holes which diverted the water to the side. When the hand pump got blocked, he connected a spare electric pump to an out-pipe in order to drain out the water. After 36 hours of continuous pumping, they reached the last few centimeters of water.
