      Ya no se movió más sino con movimientos pequeños; y en su convulsión postrera, temblaban las rotas jarcias; y el mastelero de trinquete con la doble cruz formada por las vergas se doblaba como un báculo roto.
      He no longer moved except with small movements; and in his last convulsion the broken rigging trembled; and the topsail with the double cross formed by the yards bent like a broken staff.
