From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Troop tells of old man Hasken, who butted the mainmast and then declared war on Sable Island, and later tells Dan that Harvey is “clear distracted in his upper works.” Does Troop believe the boy is out of his head, or is he talking so on purpose? Underline the lines that point each way.
At the close of Chapter I, Captains Courageous.
