Eek!  That's what I get for typing with my eyes closed!

Take out: 

>        tge fiit if the mast and linked her arm in mine.

Substitute:

>        the foot if the mast and linked her arm in mine.

There were some other typos too, but that was the worst.  Besides, I
felt the need to rub Borski's nose in that passage again, since he
hasn't yet addressed it :-)
