They got the vehicles onto the road, and then had to unhook the tow cable and re-stow it on the Shorlands.

Behind Jack the work of the ship was going on; they were taking advantage of this pause to new-reeve most of the rigging on the mainmast and to re-stow the booms; but it was going forward slowly, with the bosun and his mates driving the sparse, dispirited crew with more noise and less effect than usual.

I must heave the ship down, re-stow her - Mr Stanhope's dunnage and presents are all ahoo in the after-hold - get her more by the head, shift all manner of things; and it occurred to me, now you are so amazing agile, should not you like to take a week's leave and ride into the interior?
