·Direct
The escort crew loads the provisions, prepares Ulysses’s bedding, takes rowing stations, and casts off.
See evidence text
“the crew took these things and put them on board, with all the meat and drink; but for Ulysses they spread a rug and a linen sheet on deck that he might sleep soundly in the stern of the ship. Then he too went on board and lay down without a word, but the crew took every man his place and loosed the hawser from the pierced stone”
·Direct
The crew carries sleeping Ulysses ashore, places his gifts by the olive away from the road, and departs homeward.
See evidence text
“lift Ulysses with his rug and linen sheet out of the ship, and lay him down upon the sand still fast asleep. Then they took out the presents which Minerva had persuaded the Phaeacians to give him when he was setting out on his voyage homewards. They put these all together by the root of the olive tree, away from the road, for fear some passer by {116} might come and steal them before Ulysses awoke; and then they made the best of their way home again”
