jeff steps back to the hole, peers into it. so does amy. eric waits by the windlass. the rope is completely played out. stacy shouts, her voice echoing slightly:
jeff, amy, and eric have rushed to the shaft; they're peering into it. there's only darkness beneath them. eric shouts:
jeff is at the windlass, hurriedly cranking the rope back up. eric and amy stand watching.
jeff, eric and amy, still watching; jeff turns to the others.
eric is helping stacy into the sling, pulling it over her head; stacy's hands are shaking badly. eric hugs her, trying to calm her. jeff waits beside the hand crank.
