Then
only
,
as
if
that
suggestion
had
scarified
his
flesh
in
the
manner
of
red-hot
iron
,
Massy
gave
a
start
and
seemed
ready
to
shriek
.
He
contained
himself
by
a
great
effort
.
"
Require
a
captain
,
"
he
repeated
with
scathing
slowness
.
"
Who
requires
a
captain
?
You
dare
to
tell
me
that
I
need
any
of
you
humbugging
sailors
to
run
my
ship
.
You
and
your
likes
have
been
fattening
on
me
for
years
.
It
would
have
hurt
me
less
to
throw
my
money
overboard
.
Pam
--
pe
--
red
us
--
e
--
less
f-f-f-frauds
.
The
old
ship
knows
as
much
as
the
best
of
you
.
"
He
snapped
his
teeth
audibly
and
growled
through
them
,
"
The
silly
law
requires
a
captain
.
"
Sterne
had
taken
heart
of
grace
meantime
.
"
And
the
silly
insurance
people
too
,
as
well
,
"
he
said
lightly
.
"
But
never
mind
that
.
What
I
want
to
ask
is
:
Why
should
n't
I
do
,
sir
?
I
do
n't
say
but
you
could
take
a
steamer
about
the
world
as
well
as
any
of
us
sailors
.
I
do
n't
pretend
to
tell
you
that
it
is
a
very
great
trick
...
"
He
emitted
a
short
,
hollow
guffaw
,
familiarly
...
"
I
did
n't
make
the
law
--
but
there
it
is
;
and
I
am
an
active
young
fellow
!
I
quite
hold
with
your
ideas
;
I
know
your
ways
by
this
time
,
Mr.
Massy
.
I
would
n't
try
to
give
myself
airs
like
that
--
that
--
er
lazy
specimen
of
an
old
man
up
there
.
"
He
put
a
marked
emphasis
on
the
last
sentence
,
to
lead
Massy
away
from
the
track
in
case
...
but
he
did
not
doubt
of
now
holding
his
success
.
The
chief
engineer
seemed
nonplused
,
like
a
slow
man
invited
to
catch
hold
of
a
whirligig
of
some
sort
.
"
What
you
want
,
sir
,
is
a
chap
with
no
nonsense
about
him
,
who
would
be
content
to
be
your
sailing-master
.
Quite
right
,
too
.
Well
,
I
am
fit
for
the
work
as
much
as
that
Serang
.
Because
that
's
what
it
amounts
to
.
Do
you
know
,
sir
,
that
a
dam
'
Malay
like
a
monkey
is
in
charge
of
your
ship
--
and
no
one
else
.
Just
listen
to
his
feet
pit-patting
above
us
on
the
bridge
--
real
officer
in
charge
.
He
's
taking
her
up
the
river
while
the
great
man
is
wallowing
in
the
chair
--
perhaps
asleep
;
and
if
he
is
,
that
would
not
make
it
much
worse
either
--
take
my
word
for
it
.
"
He
tried
to
thrust
himself
farther
in
.
Massy
,
with
lowered
forehead
,
one
hand
grasping
the
back
of
the
arm-chair
,
did
not
budge
.
"
You
think
,
sir
,
that
the
man
has
got
you
tight
in
his
agreement
...
"
Massy
raised
a
heavy
snarling
face
at
this
...
"
Well
,
sir
,
one
ca
n't
help
hearing
of
it
on
board
.
It
's
no
secret
.
And
it
has
been
the
talk
on
shore
for
years
;
fellows
have
been
making
bets
about
it
.
No
,
sir
!
It
's
you
who
have
got
him
at
your
mercy
.
You
will
say
that
you
ca
n't
dismiss
him
for
indolence
.
Difficult
to
prove
in
court
,
and
so
on
.
Why
,
yes
.
But
if
you
say
the
word
,
sir
,
I
can
tell
you
something
about
his
indolence
that
will
give
you
the
clear
right
to
fire
him
out
on
the
spot
and
put
me
in
charge
for
the
rest
of
this
very
trip
--
yes
,
sir
,
before
we
leave
Batu
Beru
--
and
make
him
pay
a
dollar
a
day
for
his
keep
till
we
get
back
,
if
you
like
.
Now
,
what
do
you
think
of
that
?
Come
,
sir
.
Say
the
word
.
It
's
really
well
worth
your
while
,
and
I
am
quite
ready
to
take
your
bare
word
.
A
definite
statement
from
you
would
be
as
good
as
a
bond
.
