He and Gunnie were then sighted by the passing Ship and drawn aboard via the equivalent of life lines. The Ship then continued its time-crunching trip toward Urth (i.e., it was in Typhon's past when it picked up Severian) to arrive at the age of Typhon. The Ship itself, in that example, did not travel backwards in time, even though Severian and Gunnie had. =mantis= ---
