The captains are already on shore, and the sailors are drowning; to rescue a sailor, one must tie a knot—throw a rope to the drowning person, then untie the knot. The captain who manages to rescue all of his sailors in this way first wins. It can be required that both the captain and the drowning person tie the knots. The thrown rope may be too short, so it must be spliced. The captains are constantly different boys—(“there are frequent mutinies”).
