He
had
made
no
sound
:
Captain
Whalley
,
however
,
seemed
to
have
observed
the
movements
of
his
Serang
.
Holding
his
head
rigidly
,
he
asked
with
a
mere
stir
of
his
lips
--
"
Going
ahead
still
,
Serang
?
"
"
Still
going
a
little
,
Tuan
,
"
answered
the
Malay
.
Then
added
casually
,
"
She
is
over
.
"
The
lead
confirmed
his
words
;
the
depth
of
water
increased
at
every
cast
,
and
the
soul
of
excitement
departed
suddenly
from
the
lascar
swung
in
the
canvas
belt
over
the
Sofala
's
side
.
Captain
Whalley
ordered
the
lead
in
,
set
the
engines
ahead
without
haste
,
and
averting
his
eyes
from
the
coast
directed
the
Serang
to
keep
a
course
for
the
middle
of
the
entrance
.
Massy
brought
the
palm
of
his
hand
with
a
loud
smack
against
his
thigh
.
"
You
grazed
on
the
bar
.
Just
look
astern
and
see
if
you
did
n't
.
Look
at
the
track
she
left
.
You
can
see
it
plainly
.
Upon
my
soul
,
I
thought
you
would
!
What
made
you
do
that
?
What
on
earth
made
you
do
that
?
I
believe
you
are
trying
to
scare
me
.
"
He
talked
slowly
,
as
it
were
circumspectly
,
keeping
his
prominent
black
eyes
on
his
captain
.
There
was
also
a
slight
plaintive
note
in
his
rising
choler
,
for
,
primarily
,
it
was
the
clear
sense
of
a
wrong
suffered
undeservedly
that
made
him
hate
the
man
who
,
for
a
beggarly
five
hundred
pounds
,
claimed
a
sixth
part
of
the
profits
under
the
three
years
'
agreement
.
Whenever
his
resentment
got
the
better
of
the
awe
the
person
of
Captain
Whalley
inspired
he
would
positively
whimper
with
fury
.
"
You
do
n't
know
what
to
invent
to
plague
my
life
out
of
me
.
I
would
not
have
thought
that
a
man
of
your
sort
would
condescend
...
"
He
paused
,
half
hopefully
,
half
timidly
,
whenever
Captain
Whalley
made
the
slightest
movement
in
the
deck-chair
,
as
though
expecting
to
be
conciliated
by
a
soft
speech
or
else
rushed
upon
and
hunted
off
the
bridge
.
