Frente a los mirones, los marinos leen la escena con otra calma.

A note on this passage

«However» — sin embargo, no obstante — marca el contraste entre los ociosos alarmados y los marinos serenos. «Saw» es el pretérito irregular de «see» (ver): la vocal cambia por completo. «Plainly» = claramente, a las claras (de «plain», llano, evidente).
