Read this excerpt from "A Cub Pilot" from Mark Twain's memoir, Life on the Mississippi. I began to climb the wheel like a squirrel, but I would hardly get the boat started to port before I would see new dangers on that side, and away I would spin to the other, only to find perils accumulating to starboard and be crazy to get to port again.

Which line from the excerpt best supports the idea that Twain is panicked?

"'D-e-e-p four!'"

ā€œI was bowling down the bend above Island 66, brimful of confidenceā€¦ā€

"Deep four in a bottomless crossing!"

"...I would hardly get the boat started to port before I would see new dangers on that side..."
