| 25 | 49 | Tersites, who, as Aëtius, his fellow, had never left the ship, had had eyes painted on its bow. |
| 25 | 50 | In the morning, they were there, large, bright, patient, calm, stately. |
| 25 | 51 | It was as though the wood had sprung to life. |
| 25 | 52 | This produced alarm amongst the men, for it suggested the possibility that the ship might depart. |
| 25 | 53 | Why else would eyes, after all this time, be given to the great ship? The anxiety of the men was somewhat assuaged when it was made clear to them that the Pani who guarded the ship were not mariners, and that the small number of officers and mariners who came and went upon her, from time to time, would not be enough to bring her to sea. |
