As the evening wore on, I saw the loading (load) of food in the hold of the ship. I was especially thrilled when two helicopters landed on the deck. In the
sunlight, the helicopters glowed, which was meant for spotting (spot) them easily, when one is at sea. The helicopters are not allowed to stay (stay) out in the
open for fear of strong winds blowing (blow) them off the deck. By evening, many scientists had gathered on the deck. They were chatting (chat) and joking (joke) with each other. Some of them were tall and hefty. Some were even fit to (be) in a circus, so funny in appearance. I noticed a bearded man and when I looked at him, he looked the other way and started lighting (light) a cigarette. I thought of asking (ask) my uncle about this strange man, but gave up thinking (think) that it might be just nothing. Before the sunset, all the lights of the port lit up. The sea was beautiful to look (look) at. The anchor was then lifted and the quay began to move (move) in the opposite direction. Some people on the quay raised their hands waving (wave )to us. The ship began swaying (sway) slowly like a cradle.
