No

you

do

n't

!

"

Kelly

cried

,

stepping

between

me

and

the

ladder

,

his

right

hand

shaped

into

a

veritable

strangler

's

clutch

.

"

You

damn

little

sneak

!

I

'll

shut

yer

mouth

!

"

"

Let

him

go

,

"

Leach

commanded

.

"

Not

on

yer

life

,

"

was

the

angry

retort

.

Leach

never

changed

his

position

on

the

edge

of

the

bunk

.

"

Let

him

go

,

I

say

,

"

he

repeated

;

but

this

time

his

voice

was

gritty

and

metallic

.

The

Irishman

wavered

.

I

made

to

step

by

him

,

and

he

stood

aside

.

When

I

had

gained

the

ladder

,

I

turned

to

the

circle

of

brutal

and

malignant

faces

peering

at

me

through

the

semi-darkness

.

A

sudden

and

deep

sympathy

welled

up

in

me

.

I

remembered

the

Cockney

's

way

of

putting

it

.

How

God

must

have

hated

them

that

they

should

be

tortured

so

!

"

I

have

seen

and

heard

nothing

,

believe

me

,

"

I

said

quietly

.

"

I

tell

yer

,

he

's

all

right

,

"

I

could

hear

Leach

saying

as

I

went

up

the

ladder

.

"

He

do

n't

like

the

old

man

no

more

nor

you

or

me

.

I

found

Wolf

Larsen

in

the

cabin

,

stripped

and

bloody

,

waiting

for

me

.

He

greeted

me

with

one

of

his

whimsical

smiles

.

"

Come

,

get

to

work

,

Doctor

.

The

signs

are

favourable

for

an

extensive

practice

this

voyage

.

I

do

n't

know

what

the

Ghost

would

have

been

without

you

,

and

if

I

could

only

cherish

such

noble

sentiments

I

would

tell

you

her

master

is

deeply

grateful

.

"

I

knew

the

run

of

the

simple

medicine-chest

the

Ghost

carried

,

and

while

I

was

heating

water

on

the

cabin

stove

and

getting

the

things

ready

for

dressing

his

wounds

,

he

moved

about

,

laughing

and

chatting

,

and

examining

his

hurts

with

a

calculating

eye

.

I

had

never

before

seen

him

stripped

,

and

the

sight

of

his

body

quite

took

my

breath

away

.

It

has

never

been

my

weakness

to

exalt

the

flesh

--

far

from

it

;

but

there

is

enough

of

the

artist

in

me

to

appreciate

its

wonder

.
