I
wondered
what
this
man
could
have
got
from
such
a
work
.
Spencer
I
remembered
enough
to
know
that
altruism
was
imperative
to
his
ideal
of
highest
conduct
.
Wolf
Larsen
,
evidently
,
had
sifted
the
great
philosopher
's
teachings
,
rejecting
and
selecting
according
to
his
needs
and
desires
.
"
What
else
did
you
run
across
?
"
I
asked
.
His
brows
drew
in
slightly
with
the
mental
effort
of
suitably
phrasing
thoughts
which
he
had
never
before
put
into
speech
.
I
felt
an
elation
of
spirit
.
I
was
groping
into
his
soul-stuff
as
he
made
a
practice
of
groping
in
the
soul-stuff
of
others
.
I
was
exploring
virgin
territory
.
A
strange
,
a
terribly
strange
,
region
was
unrolling
itself
before
my
eyes
.
"
In
as
few
words
as
possible
,
"
he
began
,
"
Spencer
puts
it
something
like
this
:
First
,
a
man
must
act
for
his
own
benefit
--
to
do
this
is
to
be
moral
and
good
.
Next
,
he
must
act
for
the
benefit
of
his
children
.
And
third
,
he
must
act
for
the
benefit
of
his
race
.
"
"
And
the
highest
,
finest
,
right
conduct
,
"
I
interjected
,
"
is
that
act
which
benefits
at
the
same
time
the
man
,
his
children
,
and
his
race
.
"
"
I
would
n't
stand
for
that
,
"
he
replied
.
"
Could
n't
see
the
necessity
for
it
,
nor
the
common
sense
.
I
cut
out
the
race
and
the
children
.
I
would
sacrifice
nothing
for
them
.
It
's
just
so
much
slush
and
sentiment
,
and
you
must
see
it
yourself
,
at
least
for
one
who
does
not
believe
in
eternal
life
.
With
immortality
before
me
,
altruism
would
be
a
paying
business
proposition
.
I
might
elevate
my
soul
to
all
kinds
of
altitudes
.
But
with
nothing
eternal
before
me
but
death
,
given
for
a
brief
spell
this
yeasty
crawling
and
squirming
which
is
called
life
,
why
,
it
would
be
immoral
for
me
to
perform
any
act
that
was
a
sacrifice
.
Any
sacrifice
that
makes
me
lose
one
crawl
or
squirm
is
foolish
--
and
not
only
foolish
,
for
it
is
a
wrong
against
myself
and
a
wicked
thing
.
I
must
not
lose
one
crawl
or
squirm
if
I
am
to
get
the
most
out
of
the
ferment
.
Nor
will
the
eternal
movelessness
that
is
coming
to
me
be
made
easier
or
harder
by
the
sacrifices
or
selfishnesses
of
the
time
when
I
was
yeasty
and
acrawl
.
"
"
Then
you
are
an
individualist
,
a
materialist
,
and
,
logically
,
a
hedonist
.
"
"
Big
words
,
"
he
smiled
.
"
But
what
is
a
hedonist
?
"
He
nodded
agreement
when
I
had
given
the
definition
.
"
And
you
are
also
,
"
I
continued
,
"
a
man
one
could
not
trust
in
the
least
thing
where
it
was
possible
for
a
selfish
interest
to
intervene
?
"
