Read this excerpt from "a cub pilot" from mark twain's memoir, life on the mississippi.
i began to climb the wheel like a squirrel, but i would hardly get the boat started to port before i would see new dangers on that side, and away i would spin to the other, only to find perils accumulating to starboard and be crazy to get to port again. then came the leadsman's sepulchral cry:
"d-e-e-p four! "
deep four in a bottomless crossing! the terror of it took my breath away.
which line from the excerpt best supports the idea that twain is panicked?
"'d-e-e-p four! '"
" would hardly get the boat started to port before i would see new dangers on that "
"then came the leadsman's sepulchral cry: "
"deep four in a bottomless crossing! "
