His hand still nervously grasped the tiller, and his eye was bent eagerly towards the horizon.

的手始终紧张的抓着舵柄，眼睛热切的盯着地平线。

So he did that with the tiller under his arm and the sheet of the sail under his foot.

于是胳肢窝里挟着舵柄，一只脚踩住帆脚索，就这样办。

Convulsively my hands grasped the tiller, but with the crazy conceit that the tiller was, somehow, in some enchanted way, inverted.

He held the tiller under his arm and soaked both his hands in the water as the skiff drove forward.
