Erik And the Dragon ( book 4)
“He jerked awake to see the barge master kicking him.
“We’re here,” the man said, pulling at the ends of his moustache. “Come help me tie off.”
Erik looked around quickly. Men were busy about the barge, moving to and fro with heavy, thick ropes. They yelled to some others who had already made it to the river bank and were busy wrapping the ropes around thick timbers stuck deep in the ground. The barge master dropped a chain into Erik’s lap.
“This is for the gang plank,” he said. “Go ...and hook it up.” The man pointed to the gang plank and Erik quickly got up to help.
He bent down next to the plank and looped one end of the chain through an iron loop at the bottom end of the plank.
“Here, boy, toss it here,” one of the crewmen shouted from the bank.
Erik stood, balled the rest of the chain together and heaved it up and out to the other man, watching the chain unravel like a snake thrown through the air.MoreLess
