recuperation
After the demanding expedition, the travelers allowed time for rest and recuperation.
A strenuous rowing practice in the novel requires vigorous effort from the crew as they work against a stubborn current. The narrator describes how repeated exhausting sessions begin to debilitate the crew, leaving their movements weaker and less coordinated than earlier in the story. A later chapter follows their recuperation as they gradually recover strength after the demanding period.
