A wave of relief when Modeste lands on the deck again. Togusa raises his hand to signal to the people on board the other ship, starting to see Augustine's plan. "Can we get anyone across?" The people on board look at each other, and a few gesture towards the smaller boat. They can do this, leave minimal crew on board the boat the octopus (?) seems to be after.

The tentacle slithers back into the water with a smaller splash, and the surface doesn't break again for a few critical seconds. Togusa doesn't dare look down again, focused on the people. He has to trust Modeste to cover them.
