I
thought
the
time
had
come
to
declare
myself
.
“
I
am
the
captain
.
”
I
heard
a
“
By
Jove
!
”
whispered
at
the
level
of
the
water
.
The
phosphorescence
flashed
in
the
swirl
of
the
water
all
about
his
limbs
,
his
other
hand
seized
the
ladder
.
“
My
name
’
s
Leggatt
.
”
The
voice
was
calm
and
resolute
.
A
good
voice
.
The
self
-
possession
of
that
man
had
somehow
induced
a
corresponding
state
in
myself
.
It
was
very
quietly
that
I
remarked
:
“
You
must
be
a
good
swimmer
.
”
“
Yes
.
I
’
ve
been
in
the
water
practically
since
nine
o
’
clock
.
The
question
for
me
now
is
whether
I
am
to
let
go
this
ladder
and
go
on
swimming
till
I
sink
from
exhaustion
,
or
—
to
come
on
board
here
.
”
I
felt
this
was
no
mere
formula
of
desperate
speech
,
but
a
real
alternative
in
the
view
of
a
strong
soul
.
I
should
have
gathered
from
this
that
he
was
young
;
indeed
,
it
is
only
the
young
who
are
ever
confronted
by
such
clear
issues
.
But
at
the
time
it
was
pure
intuition
on
my
part
.
A
mysterious
communication
was
established
already
between
us
two
—
in
the
face
of
that
silent
,
darkened
tropical
sea
.
I
was
young
,
too
;
young
enough
to
make
no
comment
.
The
man
in
the
water
began
suddenly
to
climb
up
the
ladder
,
and
I
hastened
away
from
the
rail
to
fetch
some
clothes
.
Before
entering
the
cabin
I
stood
still
,
listening
in
the
lobby
at
the
foot
of
the
stairs
.
A
faint
snore
came
through
the
closed
door
of
the
chief
mate
’
s
room
.
The
second
mate
’
s
door
was
on
the
hook
,
but
the
darkness
in
there
was
absolutely
soundless
.
He
,
too
,
was
young
and
could
sleep
like
a
stone
.
Remained
the
steward
,
but
he
was
not
likely
to
wake
up
before
he
was
called
.
