It
was
a
difficult
cast
to
make
on
a
rolling
ship
,
but
the
sharp
point
of
the
spike
,
whistling
seventy-five
feet
through
the
air
,
barely
missed
Wolf
Larsen
's
head
as
he
emerged
from
the
cabin
companion-way
and
drove
its
length
two
inches
and
over
into
the
solid
deck-planking
.
Still
another
time
,
he
stole
into
the
steerage
,
possessed
himself
of
a
loaded
shot-gun
,
and
was
making
a
rush
for
the
deck
with
it
when
caught
by
Kerfoot
and
disarmed
.
I
often
wondered
why
Wolf
Larsen
did
not
kill
him
and
make
an
end
of
it
.
But
he
only
laughed
and
seemed
to
enjoy
it
.
There
seemed
a
certain
spice
about
it
,
such
as
men
must
feel
who
take
delight
in
making
pets
of
ferocious
animals
.
"
It
gives
a
thrill
to
life
,
"
he
explained
to
me
,
"
when
life
is
carried
in
one
's
hand
.
Man
is
a
natural
gambler
,
and
life
is
the
biggest
stake
he
can
lay
.
The
greater
the
odds
,
the
greater
the
thrill
.
Why
should
I
deny
myself
the
joy
of
exciting
Leach
's
soul
to
fever-pitch
?
For
that
matter
,
I
do
him
a
kindness
.
The
greatness
of
sensation
is
mutual
.
He
is
living
more
royally
than
any
man
for
'
ard
,
though
he
does
not
know
it
.
For
he
has
what
they
have
not
--
purpose
,
something
to
do
and
be
done
,
an
all-absorbing
end
to
strive
to
attain
,
the
desire
to
kill
me
,
the
hope
that
he
may
kill
me
.
Really
,
Hump
,
he
is
living
deep
and
high
.
I
doubt
that
he
has
ever
lived
so
swiftly
and
keenly
before
,
and
I
honestly
envy
him
,
sometimes
,
when
I
see
him
raging
at
the
summit
of
passion
and
sensibility
.
"
"
Ah
,
but
it
is
cowardly
,
cowardly
!
"
I
cried
.
"
You
have
all
the
advantage
.
"
"
Of
the
two
of
us
,
you
and
I
,
who
is
the
greater
coward
?
"
he
asked
seriously
.
"
If
the
situation
is
unpleasing
,
you
compromise
with
your
conscience
when
you
make
yourself
a
party
to
it
.
If
you
were
really
great
,
really
true
to
yourself
,
you
would
join
forces
with
Leach
and
Johnson
.
But
you
are
afraid
,
you
are
afraid
.
You
want
to
live
.
The
life
that
is
in
you
cries
out
that
it
must
live
,
no
matter
what
the
cost
;
so
you
live
ignominiously
,
untrue
to
the
best
you
dream
of
,
sinning
against
your
whole
pitiful
little
code
,
and
,
if
there
were
a
hell
,
heading
your
soul
straight
for
it
.
Bah
!
I
play
the
braver
part
.
I
do
no
sin
,
for
I
am
true
to
the
promptings
of
the
life
that
is
in
me
.
I
am
sincere
with
my
soul
at
least
,
and
that
is
what
you
are
not
.
"
There
was
a
sting
in
what
he
said
.
Perhaps
,
after
all
,
I
was
playing
a
cowardly
part
.
And
the
more
I
thought
about
it
the
more
it
appeared
that
my
duty
to
myself
lay
in
doing
what
he
had
advised
,
lay
in
joining
forces
with
Johnson
and
Leach
and
working
for
his
death
.
Right
here
,
I
think
,
entered
the
austere
conscience
of
my
Puritan
ancestry
,
impelling
me
toward
lurid
deeds
and
sanctioning
even
murder
as
right
conduct
.
I
dwelt
upon
the
idea
.
It
would
be
a
most
moral
act
to
rid
the
world
of
such
a
monster
.
Humanity
would
be
better
and
happier
for
it
,
life
fairer
and
sweeter
.
I
pondered
it
long
,
lying
sleepless
in
my
bunk
and
reviewing
in
endless
procession
the
facts
of
the
situation
.
I
talked
with
Johnson
and
Leach
,
during
the
night
watches
when
Wolf
Larsen
was
below
.
Both
men
had
lost
hope
--
Johnson
,
because
of
temperamental
despondency
;
Leach
,
because
he
had
beaten
himself
out
in
the
vain
struggle
and
was
exhausted
.
But
he
caught
my
hand
in
a
passionate
grip
one
night
,
saying
:
"
I
think
yer
square
,
Mr.
Van
Weyden
.
But
stay
where
you
are
and
keep
yer
mouth
shut
.
Say
nothin
'
but
saw
wood
.
We
're
dead
men
,
I
know
it
;
but
all
the
same
you
might
be
able
to
do
us
a
favour
some
time
when
we
need
it
damn
bad
.
"
It
was
only
next
day
,
when
Wainwright
Island
loomed
to
windward
,
close
abeam
,
that
Wolf
Larsen
opened
his
mouth
in
prophecy
.
He
had
attacked
Johnson
,
been
attacked
by
Leach
,
and
had
just
finished
whipping
the
pair
of
them
.
