　　 It had been a pleasantly warm day, without much wind, and with enough cloud to prevent the heat of the sun becoming too great. Charles had spent a long time studying the 36 　of the water in the boat, and had discovered that, by evening, it had 37 　very slightly. This, it would seem, must mean that the boat was not 38 water, which was fortunate, because any attempt to empty it out suggested greater 　39 than he felt equal to.

Neat, beautifully designed and 52 　, spotlessly new, they 53 his knees and he was 54 alone in a world of water. At that moment these clean official maps, correct in every detail, were as 55　 as the sound of a human voice, as cheering as a candle in darkness.
