| 151. | When they were done nodding while talking to each other, the Old Man pointed east toward the middle of the bushes and the three of them including the Bosun headed over that way. P1265 | Ke ekar ṃōj aerro ṃōṃajidjid ñan doon, ḷōḷḷap eo ejitōñ ḷọk buḷōn mar ko jetakiermān innem erjel Bojin eo jibadek ḷọk | jetak |

| 159. | Although what the Captain said sounded good, I was more inclined to believe Father because the Captain had already made so many mistakes on this trip and so many bad things were happening as a result. P875 | Meñe eṃṃanḷọk aō roñ peḷḷọkin naan ko an Kapen eo, āinwōt eitok wōt bwe in kar tōmak naan ko an Jema kōnke elōñ de alen an kar Kapen eo jirillọk. | jirilọk |
| 160. | I can say now that the whole time we were praying, the two of us felt a sense of peace and calmness in our thoughts. P950 | Imaroñ ba kiin ke iien otemjej ke kōṃro Jema kar jar, kōṃro jimor kōn eñjake an aenōṃṃan im jokane tok ḷōmṇak ko aṃro. | jokane |

| 174. | As soon as they were done tying the boat to the pier Father jumped up onto the pier and started saying hello to everyone. P1345 | Ej ṃōj aerro kōbooj wa eo ippān wab eo ak Jema ekālōñḷọk ñan ioon wab eo im iọkiọkwe armej rowōj. | kā- |

| 177. | When the two of them were done talking, Father speeded up the engine, making the boat move rapidly away from the side of the pier and the shoreline, and out into the lagoon. P489 | Ej jeṃḷọk wōt aerro kōnono tok ak Jema ebar pikūr ḷọk jidik injin eo im rōkakōt wa eo jān turin wab eo im arin ān eo. | kaiur |

| 179. | As the two of them were talking, my eyes kept closing, because I was so tired of trying to keep them open. P255 | Ke erro ej kōnono, eitok wōt in kilōk tok meja, meñe iṃōk in kate eō bwe en jab. | kakkōt |
| 180. | But there were a few things I didn’t even notice. P995 | Ak jet ko men ijabōṃ kar kakkōt mejeki. | kakkōt |
| 181. | The major powers of the world were quite interested in this because they believed it to be a sign of the beginnining of Micronesian independence and of their taking responsibility for their own affairs. S16 | Aolep laḷ ko rōḷḷap raar kanooj in itok limoier kōn men in bwe raar tōmak bwe men in juon kōkaḷḷe in an Ṃaikronijia jino wōnṃaanḷọk ñan an make jutak im bōk eddoin jerbal ko an make. | kakōḷḷe |

| 192. | I heard what Father and the Captain were saying and I thought about it. P874 | Iroñ naan kein an Jema im Kapen eo im kar kōlmānḷọkjeṇ eaki | kōḷmānḷọkjeṇ |
| 193. | They were disenchanted by his speech. | Jipij eo an ekakolōkabwiier. | kolōkabwi- |
| 194. | We were being very careful. P1186 | Kōmmān ekar lukkuun kōjparok. | kōm |
| 195. | That evening as we were all on the deck of the Likabwiro and the men were shooting the breeze we were surprised to see a plane fly overhead toward the west. P929 | Boñon eo ke kōmmān ej aolep im pād ioon teekin Likabwiro im ḷōṃaro rej kōmeltato bajjek, kōmmān ḷak ilbōk ej kā to juon baḷuun i lōñ to. | kōmāltato |

| 199. | “Son, go back to the same place you were before if you want,” Father said. P743 | “Nejū, kwōnaaj bar pād ijo kar jikūṃ ṃokta, ñe kwōkōṇaan,” Jema eba. | kōṇaan |
| 200. | They didn’t swim for long; they soon reached the island and came out of the lagoon and went across the sand and then were out of sight on a small path between the Scaveola. P1252 | Ekar jab to aerro aō ḷọk ak erro tōpar āne im ato ḷọk i arin ān eo im wōnāne ḷọk ioon bok im penjak ḷọk ilo juon mejate ilo kōṇṇat ko. | kōṇṇat |

| 202. | The trade winds were blowing favorably and the Captain and Father looked up at the clouds and predicted it would be like that for the rest of the day. P969 | Kōto eo ekọto im Kapen eo kab Jema rōḷak kōbbaal tok rōba ke enaaj kar āindeeo an ṃōṃan ñan boñ. | kọto |

| 205. | The heads of the prisoners were clipped and shaved. | Raar piḷōḷe ri-kalbuuj ro im ear kweejej bōrāer. | kweejej |
| 206. | Since the water was calm and smooth, we were all just sitting on the deck looking around. P1032 | Ke ebaj lur im ḷae ioon lọjet, kōmmān kar aolep im pād ioon teek, kōmmān ej reito reitak bajjek. | ḷae |
| 207. | Beads of sweat had gone into my eyes and they were really burning. P992 | Rōḷak tọọr tok ñan lowaan meja emāāṇ ḷam jako. | ḷam jako |
| 208. | But we could all feel that the waves were starting to get bigger. P527 | Ak aolep rōkar lo im eñjaake bwe ṇo ko rejino ḷōḷap ḷọk | ḷap |
| 209. | He painted it and fixed the places where there were scratches from when they used to use the boat to set sailors ashore. P13 | Ekar unoke im kōkāāle ijoko ekar wōr kurar bajjek ie ke ri-pālle ro rōkōn leāne lemeto jeḷaan tima ko waer eake. | leāne-lemeto |
| 210. | “Man, I didn’t even know you were leaving until I looked over and saw all these people next to the boat, and I thought I should come see what’s going on,” he said. P463 | Ḷeiō, ilukkuun jaje ke koṃwij jerak ak iḷak erre tok im lo an lōñ armej i turin wa in ibaj itok in lale ta,” eba. | ḷeiō |
| 211. | 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 |

| 214. | “I said we were still on the lee side of Likiep before we turned downwind,” Father said. P920 | “Ikar ba kōjmān kar pād wōt i liklaḷin Likiep ṃokta jān adeañ kar kabbwe,” Jema eba. | liklaḷ |
| 215. | It was somewhat hard to tell how many people were in the house, but it was obvious that one was an old woman because I heard the old man say, “Honey, you should go make some food for the Engineer and his son.” P182 | Ejaad pen kile jete armej i lowaan ṃweo ak ealikkar ke juon eo leḷḷap ie kōnke iroñ ainikien an ḷōḷḷap eo ba, “Limen e, kwōn itōn kōṃṃan ḷọk kijen Injinia e im ḷadik e nejin.” | Limen |
| 216. | His words were a provocation. | Naan ko an rōkōṃṃan liṃotak. | liṃotak |
| 217. | We were too much to the west. P893 | Jekadik kar baj ḷoto | ḷo- |
| 218. | Because the sails of old were made from woven pandanus leaves, our ancestors necessarily had to weave atro for covering their canoe sails to prevent them from getting soaked. | Kōnke wōjḷā ko etto rejọ kōn kōṃṃan jān maañin bōb, rūtto ro rōkōn aikuj āj atro kein lōbboiki bwe ren jab tutu im ṃọḷeḷe. | lōbbọ |

| 220. | We were all feeling sad and wishing the plane had seen us when Father spoke to me. P947 | Kōmmān ej baj būroṃōj wōt bajjek im ḷọkwanwa ḷọk ippān baḷuun eo kōn an jab lo kōmmān ak Jema ekkōnono tok. | ḷokwanwa |

| 222. | The other two were still up on deck. P824 | Ak ḷōṃaro ruo rōkar pād wōt ijo lōñ. | ḷōṃaro |
| 223. | I thought to myself that most likely he said this because we were going to sail soon and he was implying that it was dangerous. P219 | Iḷōmṇak ippa make ke bōlen ej kōnono eake ammān tōn jerak ilo iien in im ej ba ekauwōtata. | ḷōmṇak |

| ṃaanpā |

| 231. | They were putting the leis around his neck when I left. | Raar kōṃarṃare wōt ke ij eṃṃakūt. | ṃarṃar |

| 234. | But there were a few things I didn’t even notice. P995 | Ak jet ko men ijabōṃ kar kakkōt mejeki. | mejek |

| 237. | Even though Father’s hands were full, he gave me his hand to keep me from getting hurt. P601 | Meñe eobrak pein Jema, ekar bar letok pein im dāpij eō jān aō jorrāān. | meñe |
