The first excerpt: "A certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place."
It directly states Rainsford's calm, composed reaction and experience in dangerous situations, which best supports the idea that he is rational and does not panic. The second line shows realistic assessment, but not explicit calmness.
