It
happened
while
we
were
setting
a
reefed
foresail
,
at
dusk
.
Reefed
foresail
!
You
understand
the
sort
of
weather
.
The
only
sail
we
had
left
to
keep
the
ship
running
;
so
you
may
guess
what
it
had
been
like
for
days
.
Anxious
sort
of
job
,
that
.
He
gave
me
some
of
his
cursed
insolence
at
the
sheet
.
I
tell
you
I
was
overdone
with
this
terrific
weather
that
seemed
to
have
no
end
to
it
.
Terrific
,
I
tell
you
—
and
a
deep
ship
.
I
believe
the
fellow
himself
was
half
crazed
with
funk
.
It
was
no
time
for
gentlemanly
reproof
,
so
I
turned
round
and
felled
him
like
an
ox
.
He
up
and
at
me
.
We
closed
just
as
an
awful
sea
made
for
the
ship
.
All
hands
saw
it
coming
and
took
to
the
rigging
,
but
I
had
him
by
the
throat
,
and
went
on
shaking
him
like
a
rat
,
the
men
above
us
yelling
,
‘
Look
out
!
look
out
!
’
Then
a
crash
as
if
the
sky
had
fallen
on
my
head
.
They
say
that
for
over
ten
minutes
hardly
anything
was
to
be
seen
of
the
ship
—
just
the
three
masts
and
a
bit
of
the
forecastle
head
and
of
the
poop
all
awash
driving
along
in
a
smother
of
foam
.
It
was
a
miracle
that
they
found
us
,
jammed
together
behind
the
forebitts
.
It
’
s
clear
that
I
meant
business
,
because
I
was
holding
him
by
the
throat
still
when
they
picked
us
up
.
He
was
black
in
the
face
.
It
was
too
much
for
them
.
It
seems
they
rushed
us
aft
together
,
gripped
as
we
were
,
screaming
‘
Murder
!
’
like
a
lot
of
lunatics
,
and
broke
into
the
cuddy
.
And
the
ship
running
for
her
life
,
touch
and
go
all
the
time
,
any
minute
her
last
in
a
sea
fit
to
turn
your
hair
gray
only
a
-
looking
at
it
.
I
understand
that
the
skipper
,
too
,
started
raving
like
the
rest
of
them
.
The
man
had
been
deprived
of
sleep
for
more
than
a
week
,
and
to
have
this
sprung
on
him
at
the
height
of
a
furious
gale
nearly
drove
him
out
of
his
mind
.
I
wonder
they
didn
’
t
fling
me
overboard
after
getting
the
carcass
of
their
precious
shipmate
out
of
my
fingers
.
They
had
rather
a
job
to
separate
us
,
I
’
ve
been
told
.
A
sufficiently
fierce
story
to
make
an
old
judge
and
a
respectable
jury
sit
up
a
bit
.
The
first
thing
I
heard
when
I
came
to
myself
was
the
maddening
howling
of
that
endless
gale
,
and
on
that
the
voice
of
the
old
man
.
He
was
hanging
on
to
my
bunk
,
staring
into
my
face
out
of
his
sou
’
wester
.
“
‘
Mr
.
Leggatt
,
you
have
killed
a
man
.
You
can
act
no
longer
as
chief
mate
of
this
ship
.
’
”
His
care
to
subdue
his
voice
made
it
sound
monotonous
.
He
rested
a
hand
on
the
end
of
the
skylight
to
steady
himself
with
,
and
all
that
time
did
not
stir
a
limb
,
so
far
as
I
could
see
.
“
Nice
little
tale
for
a
quiet
tea
party
,
”
he
concluded
in
the
same
tone
.
One
of
my
hands
,
too
,
rested
on
the
end
of
the
skylight
;
neither
did
I
stir
a
limb
,
so
far
as
I
knew
.
We
stood
less
than
a
foot
from
each
other
.
It
occurred
to
me
that
if
old
“
Bless
my
soul
—
you
don
’
t
say
so
”
were
to
put
his
head
up
the
companion
and
catch
sight
of
us
,
he
would
think
he
was
seeing
double
,
or
imagine
himself
come
upon
a
scene
of
weird
witchcraft
;
the
strange
captain
having
a
quiet
confabulation
by
the
wheel
with
his
own
gray
ghost
.
I
became
very
much
concerned
to
prevent
anything
of
the
sort
.
I
heard
the
other
’
s
soothing
undertone
.
“
My
father
’
s
a
parson
in
Norfolk
,
”
it
said
.
Evidently
he
had
forgotten
he
had
told
me
this
important
fact
before
.
Truly
a
nice
little
tale
.
“
You
had
better
slip
down
into
my
stateroom
now
,
”
I
said
,
moving
off
stealthily
.
My
double
followed
my
movements
;
our
bare
feet
made
no
sound
;
I
let
him
in
,
closed
the
door
with
care
,
and
,
after
giving
a
call
to
the
second
mate
,
returned
on
deck
for
my
relief
.
“
Not
much
sign
of
any
wind
yet
,
”
I
remarked
when
he
approached
.
“
No
,
sir
.
Not
much
,
”
he
assented
,
sleepily
,
in
his
hoarse
voice
,
with
just
enough
deference
,
no
more
,
and
barely
suppressing
a
yawn
.
“
Well
,
that
’
s
all
you
have
to
look
out
for
.
You
have
got
your
orders
.
”
