This
morning
,
however
,
on
entering
his
state-room
to
make
the
bed
and
put
things
in
order
,
I
found
him
well
and
hard
at
work
.
Table
and
bunk
were
littered
with
designs
and
calculations
.
On
a
large
transparent
sheet
,
compass
and
square
in
hand
,
he
was
copying
what
appeared
to
be
a
scale
of
some
sort
or
other
.
"
Hello
,
Hump
,
"
he
greeted
me
genially
.
"
I
'm
just
finishing
the
finishing
touches
.
Want
to
see
it
work
?
"
"
But
what
is
it
?
"
I
asked
.
"
A
labour-saving
device
for
mariners
,
navigation
reduced
to
kindergarten
simplicity
,
"
he
answered
gaily
.
"
From
to-day
a
child
will
be
able
to
navigate
a
ship
.
No
more
long-winded
calculations
.
All
you
need
is
one
star
in
the
sky
on
a
dirty
night
to
know
instantly
where
you
are
.
Look
.
I
place
the
transparent
scale
on
this
star-map
,
revolving
the
scale
on
the
North
Pole
.
On
the
scale
I
've
worked
out
the
circles
of
altitude
and
the
lines
of
bearing
.
All
I
do
is
to
put
it
on
a
star
,
revolve
the
scale
till
it
is
opposite
those
figures
on
the
map
underneath
,
and
presto
!
there
you
are
,
the
ship
's
precise
location
!
"
There
was
a
ring
of
triumph
in
his
voice
,
and
his
eyes
,
clear
blue
this
morning
as
the
sea
,
were
sparkling
with
light
.
"
You
must
be
well
up
in
mathematics
,
"
I
said
.
"
Where
did
you
go
to
school
?
"
"
Never
saw
the
inside
of
one
,
worse
luck
,
"
was
the
answer
.
"
I
had
to
dig
it
out
for
myself
.
"
"
And
why
do
you
think
I
have
made
this
thing
?
"
he
demanded
,
abruptly
.
"
Dreaming
to
leave
footprints
on
the
sands
of
time
?
"
He
laughed
one
of
his
horrible
mocking
laughs
.
"
Not
at
all
.
To
get
it
patented
,
to
make
money
from
it
,
to
revel
in
piggishness
with
all
night
in
while
other
men
do
the
work
.
That
's
my
purpose
.
Also
,
I
have
enjoyed
working
it
out
.
"
"
The
creative
joy
,
"
I
murmured
.
