And he went on giving his orders to the men , and doing his best to make ready for the storm , standing , like an officer commanding a breach , with his face to the wind , and his gaze fixed on the troubled sky . The glass had fallen to 26 degrees , and the hand pointed to tempest .
И он продолжал отдавать приказы людям и изо всех сил готовиться к буре, стоя, как офицер, командующий брешью, лицом к ветру и устремив взор в неспокойное небо. Стекло упало до 26 градусов, и стрелка указывала на бурю.
