"
I
am
puzzled
,
"
he
went
on
again
,
with
the
watchful
unsmiling
baring
of
his
big
teeth
.
"
I
do
n't
know
what
to
think
.
I
do
believe
you
are
trying
to
frighten
me
.
You
very
nearly
planted
her
on
the
bar
for
at
least
twelve
hours
,
besides
getting
the
engines
choked
with
mud
.
Ships
ca
n't
afford
to
lose
twelve
hours
on
a
trip
nowadays
--
as
you
ought
to
know
very
well
,
and
do
know
very
well
to
be
sure
,
only
...
"
His
slow
volubility
,
the
sideways
cranings
of
his
neck
,
the
black
glances
out
of
the
very
corners
of
his
eyes
,
left
Captain
Whalley
unmoved
.
He
looked
at
the
deck
with
a
severe
frown
.
Massy
waited
for
some
little
time
,
then
began
to
threaten
plaintively
.
"
You
think
you
've
got
me
bound
hand
and
foot
in
that
agreement
.
You
think
you
can
torment
me
in
any
way
you
please
.
Ah
!
But
remember
it
has
another
six
weeks
to
run
yet
.
There
's
time
for
me
to
dismiss
you
before
the
three
years
are
out
.
You
will
do
yet
something
that
will
give
me
the
chance
to
dismiss
you
,
and
make
you
wait
a
twelvemonth
for
your
money
before
you
can
take
yourself
off
and
pull
out
your
five
hundred
,
and
leave
me
without
a
penny
to
get
the
new
boilers
for
her
.
You
gloat
over
that
idea
--
do
n't
you
?
I
do
believe
you
sit
here
gloating
.
It
's
as
if
I
had
sold
my
soul
for
five
hundred
pounds
to
be
everlastingly
damned
in
the
end
...
"
He
paused
,
without
apparent
exasperation
,
then
continued
evenly
--
"
...
With
the
boilers
worn
out
and
the
survey
hanging
over
my
head
,
Captain
Whalley
--
Captain
Whalley
,
I
say
,
what
do
you
do
with
your
money
?
You
must
have
stacks
of
money
somewhere
--
a
man
like
you
must
.
It
stands
to
reason
.
I
am
not
a
fool
,
you
know
,
Captain
Whalley
--
partner
.
"
Again
he
paused
,
as
though
he
had
done
for
good
.
He
passed
his
tongue
over
his
lips
,
gave
a
backward
glance
at
the
Serang
conning
the
ship
with
quiet
whispers
and
slight
signs
of
the
hand
.
The
wash
of
the
propeller
sent
a
swift
ripple
,
crested
with
dark
froth
,
upon
a
long
flat
spit
of
black
slime
.
The
Sofala
had
entered
the
river
;
the
trail
she
had
stirred
up
over
the
bar
was
a
mile
astern
of
her
now
,
out
of
sight
,
had
disappeared
utterly
;
and
the
smooth
,
empty
sea
along
the
coast
was
left
behind
in
the
glittering
desolation
of
sunshine
.
On
each
side
of
her
,
low
down
,
the
growth
of
somber
twisted
mangroves
covered
the
semi-liquid
banks
;
and
Massy
continued
in
his
old
tone
,
with
an
abrupt
start
,
as
if
his
speech
had
been
ground
out
of
him
,
like
the
tune
of
a
music-box
,
by
turning
a
handle
.
"
Though
if
anybody
ever
got
the
best
of
me
,
it
is
you
.
I
do
n't
mind
saying
this
.
I
've
said
it
--
there
!
What
more
can
you
want
?
Is
n't
that
enough
for
your
pride
,
Captain
Whalley
.
You
got
over
me
from
the
first
.
It
's
all
of
a
piece
,
when
I
look
back
at
it
.
You
allowed
me
to
insert
that
clause
about
intemperance
without
saying
anything
,
only
looking
very
sick
when
I
made
a
point
of
it
going
in
black
on
white
.
How
could
I
tell
what
was
wrong
about
you
.
There
's
generally
something
wrong
somewhere
.
And
,
lo
and
behold
!
when
you
come
on
board
it
turns
out
that
you
've
been
in
the
habit
of
drinking
nothing
but
water
for
years
and
years
.
"
His
dogmatic
reproachful
whine
stopped
.
He
brooded
profoundly
,
after
the
manner
of
crafty
and
unintelligent
men
.
