    Explanation:

    - The passage narrates a story where the protagonist talks about their experiences after a profitable voyage.

    - For blank 2, a contrast in the narrative is required to highlight the transition from comfort to restlessness.

    - Option 1: And - This would suggest a continuation without any contrasting change, which doesn’t fit well here.

    - Option 2: Since - This suggests causation but doesn't introduce contrast after portraying comfort.

    - Option 3: But - This highlights a contrast, suggesting despite having luxury, there was restlessness.

    - Option 4: So - Implies causation or result, not suitable where contrast is needed.

    The correct option is Option 3: But.
