The gate is raised by muscle power, abetted by two heavy, drumlike weights which partially balance its weight, transmitted to the windlass by means of metal windlass poles, or bars, these being used to rotate the windlass. |
10 |
| 31 | 7 |
The gate, which is heavier than the drumlike weights, has a gravity descent. |
10 |

"The gate is soon to be closed," said the pirate. |
10 |
| 31 | 156 |
It takes less time to close the gate than open it, but that, too, because of the weights involved, the windlass stress and the need to control the windlass, requires a considerable effort. |
10 |
| 31 | 157 |
To make the gate fall with extreme swiftness, incidentally, as was done when my galley was shattered, it is necessary only to disengage one of the counterweights. |
10 |
| 31 | 161 |
There are two counterweights, as I have mentioned, which partially balance the weight of the gate. |
