Explanation:

In Mark Twain's "A Cub Pilot", Mr. Bixby teaches Samuel a lesson about confidence and trusting oneself. At first, Samuel is sure of his abilities to navigate without Mr. Bixby. He even says he can do it with his eyes shut. Yet, when Mr. Bixby asks him if he is sure he can really do it, Samuel begins to doubt it. That one question was enough to make him second-guess himself. Even though he does know how to do it, he becomes unsure of his ability.

When Mr. Bixby asks, “Didn’t you know there was no bottom in that crossing?” he reveals it was a test. He wants Samuel to learn to not doubt his skills, even if others seem to doubt them.
