I used to hear hammerings and things, but I never saw anything, because I wasn't allowed to walk yet on account of the anti-toxin.

The ship seemed to be full only of yellings, rushings to-and-fro of feet, wild hammerings upon timber, solid and hollow: and these pell-mell noises made the darkness, if not darker, at least more terribly confusing. The cries abated a little; the noise of hammering increased, and at the same time grew persistent and regular, almost methodical.
The orchestra was there, sunk out of sight and filling the dimness with the sounds of tuning. But the great curtain was down. And from behind it came shouting voices, noises of steps, loud and persistent hammerings.
