He had been working intently at fixing a section of the railing by the stairs to the quarterdeck- So much so that he had not quite noticed anyone up in the rigging as of yet. The section was just fitted into place, when he heard the call-

Wellard sets down the tools, and stands, looking up to the masts.

"A moment, then!"

Thankfully, he was never one of those officers scared of heights. With still some care to the rigging, Wellard starts up, quickly.
