| 54. | The Captain didn’t answer the Boatswain and instead started talking to Father. P869 | Kapen eo ekar jab kijer im uwaake Bojin eo ak ekar kōnono ḷọk ṃōṃkaj ñan Jema. | kijer |
| 55. | I started running—that’s how eager I was. P147 | Ij tōtōr wōt, joñan aō kijerjer. | kijerjer |

| 58. | At that moment the boat started moving away from the side of the pier and the Captain called down that the engine should be put in reverse. P481 | Kiin ejino jen wa eo jān tōrerein wab eo im Kapen eo ekōjjeḷā laḷ ḷọk bwe en pāāk injin eo. | kōjjeḷā |

| 64. | When he reached the cross-stick at the top of the mast he suddenly started kicking then he jumped up to the top and landed on it and sat down. P1192 | Ke ekar tōpar kūrọọjti eo, ebuñjenōṃ ḷak bwijbwij, ekā lōñ ḷọk im jok ioon im jijet. | kūrọọjti |

| 67. | The roll of the boat back and forth on the waves started to intensify, and the water inside the boat splashed and sprayed me and Father until we were soaking wet, but the liquid we were pouring from the can never once spilled over. P595 | Eḷak bar ḷapḷọk an lelāle im ṃōt wa eo, dān eo lowa ejjādbūtbūt im kōṃro Jema ṇok ak ejab lilutōktōk dān eo kōṃro ej teiñi ḷọk ñan lowaan tāāñ eo. | lelāle |

| 71. | “You can start passing things down to us,” the Captain said and before the Captain said it Father had started passing lumber to him. P356 | “Jino jebjeb tok,” eruṃwij an wōtlọk naan eo jān lāñwiin Kapen eo ke Jema ej jino leleḷọk aḷaḷ ñan e. | lọñi |

| 73. | After a little, the Captain started speaking. P277 | Ej baj meḷan ḷọk ak Kapen eo ekkōnono. | meḷan |
| 74. | Then I took one for myself and started nibbling at it. P812 | Ak ibaj bōk juon kijō wūd im jino meme dikdik. | meme |
| 75. | The storm started to subside after about 6 o’clock but not enough for us to be able to put up the sail. P786 | Ej kab kar jino meraḷọk ālikin jiljino awa ijoke ekar jañin ṃōṃan ñan lewūjḷā. | mera |
| 76. | He started to practice guitar. | Ear jino kamminene katak kūta. | miminene |
