For
I
had
been
elevating
her
too
highly
in
my
concepts
of
her
,
removing
her
too
far
from
the
plane
of
the
human
,
and
too
far
from
me
.
I
had
been
making
of
her
a
creature
goddess-like
and
unapproachable
.
So
I
hailed
with
delight
the
little
traits
that
proclaimed
her
only
woman
after
all
,
such
as
the
toss
of
the
head
which
flung
back
the
cloud
of
hair
,
and
the
search
for
the
pin
.
She
was
woman
,
my
kind
,
on
my
plane
,
and
the
delightful
intimacy
of
kind
,
of
man
and
woman
,
was
possible
,
as
well
as
the
reverence
and
awe
in
which
I
knew
I
should
always
hold
her
.
She
found
the
pin
with
an
adorable
little
cry
,
and
I
turned
my
attention
more
fully
to
my
steering
.
I
proceeded
to
experiment
,
lashing
and
wedging
the
steering-oar
until
the
boat
held
on
fairly
well
by
the
wind
without
my
assistance
.
Occasionally
it
came
up
too
close
,
or
fell
off
too
freely
;
but
it
always
recovered
itself
and
in
the
main
behaved
satisfactorily
.
"
And
now
we
shall
have
breakfast
,
"
I
said
.
"
But
first
you
must
be
more
warmly
clad
.

I
got
out
a
heavy
shirt
,
new
from
the
slop-chest
and
made
from
blanket
goods
.
I
knew
the
kind
,
so
thick
and
so
close
of
texture
that
it
could
resist
the
rain
and
not
be
soaked
through
after
hours
of
wetting
.
When
she
had
slipped
this
on
over
her
head
,
I
exchanged
the
boy
's
cap
she
wore
for
a
man
's
cap
,
large
enough
to
cover
her
hair
,
and
,
when
the
flap
was
turned
down
,
to
completely
cover
her
neck
and
ears
.
The
effect
was
charming
.
Her
face
was
of
the
sort
that
can
not
but
look
well
under
all
circumstances
.
Nothing
could
destroy
its
exquisite
oval
,
its
well-nigh
classic
lines
,
its
delicately
stencilled
brows
,
its
large
brown
eyes
,
clear-seeing
and
calm
,
gloriously
calm
.
A
puff
,
slightly
stronger
than
usual
,
struck
us
just
then
.
The
boat
was
caught
as
it
obliquely
crossed
the
crest
of
a
wave
.
It
went
over
suddenly
,
burying
its
gunwale
level
with
the
sea
and
shipping
a
bucketful
or
so
of
water
.
I
was
opening
a
can
of
tongue
at
the
moment
,
and
I
sprang
to
the
sheet
and
cast
it
off
just
in
time
.
The
sail
flapped
and
fluttered
,
and
the
boat
paid
off
.
A
few
minutes
of
regulating
sufficed
to
put
it
on
its
course
again
,
when
I
returned
to
the
preparation
of
breakfast
.
"
It
does
very
well
,
it
seems
,
though
I
am
not
versed
in
things
nautical
,
"
she
said
,
nodding
her
head
with
grave
approval
at
my
steering
contrivance
.

"
But
it
will
serve
only
when
we
are
sailing
by
the
wind
,
"
I
explained
.
"
When
running
more
freely
,
with
the
wind
astern
abeam
,
or
on
the
quarter
,
it
will
be
necessary
for
me
to
steer
.
"
"
I
must
say
I
do
n't
understand
your
technicalities
,
"
she
said
,
"
but
I
do
your
conclusion
,
and
I
do
n't
like
it
.
You
can
not
steer
night
and
day
and
for
ever
.
So
I
shall
expect
,
after
breakfast
,
to
receive
my
first
lesson
.
And
then
you
shall
lie
down
and
sleep
.
We
'll
stand
watches
just
as
they
do
on
ships
.
"
"
I
do
n't
see
how
I
am
to
teach
you
,
"
I
made
protest
.
"
I
am
just
learning
for
myself
.
You
little
thought
when
you
trusted
yourself
to
me
that
I
had
had
no
experience
whatever
with
small
boats
.
This
is
the
first
time
I
have
ever
been
in
one
.
