Read the following passage and answer the questions given below (161-165) : Everyday now, when the tide was out, I went on board the ship. Gradually I brought away all the sails and the rigging. I even brought some iron cables, but these proved to be too heavy for my raft. On the way back to the shore, it turned over and the cables fell into the sea. However, when the tide was out, I was able to recover the cables one by one. On one of my trips I was very pleased to discover some more food, including sugar, flour and bread. Very soon I had been on the island for a fortnight and had made, eleven trips to the ship. On my last trip of all I noticed a cupboard which I had previously overlooked. In it were three razors, a large pair of scissors and a dozen good knives and forks. There was also some European money, worth about thirty-six pounds in all. By now I had taken everything from the ship which was of value to me, and I began to consider where I should live on the island. My tent was on rather low ground near to the sea and I did not think that it would be healthy to live there for very long. There were four points that I had to bear in mind in choosing the site of my home. First of all, I needed to find a place which would be healthy and near some fresh water. Secondly, there ought to be protection from the heat of the sun. Thirdly, I had to be safe from attacks by wild animals. Last of all, I needed to have a view of the sea so that, if any ship should chance to come near to the island, I would not miss it.161- What did the sailor do when the tide was out?
