HAUL THE SHIP

Get a 320-ton steamship from this river, over that mountain, into the next river. Mash SPACE (or tap HAUL) to work the capstan — the rope goes slack fast, and the crew's morale runs out faster. Let it run dry and they walk off the job for a moment. It's fine. Werner did this for real.
