Very likely , and Captain Spade , who had looked on , must have known it , too . Even a hospital attendant could not fail to be astonished at the fact that a vessel without either screw or sails was going along at such a speed . However this may be , for some reason or other , the bows of the _ Ebba _ are barred to me . Toward ten o'clock a breeze springs up -- a northwest wind and very favorable -- and Captain Spade gives an order to the boatswain . The latter immediately pipes all hands on deck , and the mainsail , the foresail , staysail and jibs are hoisted . The work could not have been executed with greater regularity and discipline on board a man-of-war . The _ Ebba _ now has a slight list to port , and her speed is notably increased .
