I
arose
obediently
and
went
down
the
beach
.
"
Do
be
careful
,
"
she
called
after
me
.
I
waved
my
arm
from
the
forecastle
head
and
dropped
down
to
the
deck
.
Aft
I
walked
to
the
cabin
companion
,
where
I
contented
myself
with
hailing
below
.
Wolf
Larsen
answered
,
and
as
he
started
to
ascend
the
stairs
I
cocked
my
revolver
.
I
displayed
it
openly
during
our
conversation
,
but
he
took
no
notice
of
it
.
He
appeared
the
same
,
physically
,
as
when
last
I
saw
him
,
but
he
was
gloomy
and
silent
.
In
fact
,
the
few
words
we
spoke
could
hardly
be
called
a
conversation
.

I
did
not
inquire
why
he
had
not
been
ashore
,
nor
did
he
ask
why
I
had
not
come
aboard
.
His
head
was
all
right
again
,
he
said
,
and
so
,
without
further
parley
,
I
left
him
.
Maud
received
my
report
with
obvious
relief
,
and
the
sight
of
smoke
which
later
rose
in
the
galley
put
her
in
a
more
cheerful
mood
.
The
next
day
,
and
the
next
,
we
saw
the
galley
smoke
rising
,
and
sometimes
we
caught
glimpses
of
him
on
the
poop
.
But
that
was
all
.
He
made
no
attempt
to
come
ashore
.
This
we
knew
,
for
we
still
maintained
our
night-watches
.
We
were
waiting
for
him
to
do
something
,
to
show
his
hand
,
so
to
say
,
and
his
inaction
puzzled
and
worried
us
.
A
week
of
this
passed
by
.
We
had
no
other
interest
than
Wolf
Larsen
,
and
his
presence
weighed
us
down
with
an
apprehension
which
prevented
us
from
doing
any
of
the
little
things
we
had
planned
.
But
at
the
end
of
the
week
the
smoke
ceased
rising
from
the
galley
,
and
he
no
longer
showed
himself
on
the
poop
.
I
could
see
Maud
's
solicitude
again
growing
,
though
she
timidly
--
and
even
proudly
,
I
think
--
forbore
a
repetition
of
her
request
.
After
all
,
what
censure
could
be
put
upon
her
?
She
was
divinely
altruistic
,
and
she
was
a
woman
.
Besides
,
I
was
myself
aware
of
hurt
at
thought
of
this
man
whom
I
had
tried
to
kill
,
dying
alone
with
his
fellow-creatures
so
near
.
He
was
right
.
The
code
of
my
group
was
stronger
than
I
.
The
fact
that
he
had
hands
,
feet
,
and
a
body
shaped
somewhat
like
mine
,
constituted
a
claim
which
I
could
not
ignore
.

So
I
did
not
wait
a
second
time
for
Maud
to
send
me
.
I
discovered
that
we
stood
in
need
of
condensed
milk
and
marmalade
,
and
announced
that
I
was
going
aboard
.
I
could
see
that
she
wavered
.
She
even
went
so
far
as
to
murmur
that
they
were
non-essentials
and
that
my
trip
after
them
might
be
inexpedient
.
And
as
she
had
followed
the
trend
of
my
silence
,
she
now
followed
the
trend
of
my
speech
,
and
she
knew
that
I
was
going
aboard
,
not
because
of
condensed
milk
and
marmalade
,
but
because
of
her
and
of
her
anxiety
,
which
she
knew
she
had
failed
to
hide
.
I
took
off
my
shoes
when
I
gained
the
forecastle
head
,
and
went
noiselessly
aft
in
my
stocking
feet
.
Nor
did
I
call
this
time
from
the
top
of
the
companion-way
.
Cautiously
descending
,
I
found
the
cabin
deserted
.
The
door
to
his
state-room
was
closed
.
At
first
I
thought
of
knocking
,
then
I
remembered
my
ostensible
errand
and
resolved
to
carry
it
out
.
Carefully
avoiding
noise
,
I
lifted
the
trap-door
in
the
floor
and
set
it
to
one
side
.
The
slop-chest
,
as
well
as
the
provisions
,
was
stored
in
the
lazarette
,
and
I
took
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
lay
in
a
stock
of
underclothing
.
