Nothing
could
make
mine
less
,
"
said
Captain
Whalley
.
He
had
not
dared
to
consult
a
doctor
;
the
man
would
have
perhaps
asked
who
he
was
,
what
he
was
doing
;
Massy
might
have
heard
something
.
He
had
lived
on
without
any
help
,
human
or
divine
.
The
very
prayers
stuck
in
his
throat
.
What
was
there
to
pray
for
?
and
death
seemed
as
far
as
ever
.
Once
he
got
into
his
cabin
he
dared
not
come
out
again
;
when
he
sat
down
he
dared
not
get
up
;
he
dared
not
raise
his
eyes
to
anybody
's
face
;
he
felt
reluctant
to
look
upon
the
sea
or
up
to
the
sky
.
The
world
was
fading
before
his
great
fear
of
giving
himself
away
.
The
old
ship
was
his
last
friend
;
he
was
not
afraid
of
her
;
he
knew
every
inch
of
her
deck
;
but
at
her
too
he
hardly
dared
to
look
,
for
fear
of
finding
he
could
see
less
than
the
day
before
.
A
great
incertitude
enveloped
him
.
The
horizon
was
gone
;
the
sky
mingled
darkly
with
the
sea
.
Who
was
this
figure
standing
over
yonder
?
what
was
this
thing
lying
down
there
?
And
a
frightful
doubt
of
the
reality
of
what
he
could
see
made
even
the
remnant
of
sight
that
remained
to
him
an
added
torment
,
a
pitfall
always
open
for
his
miserable
pretense
.
He
was
afraid
to
stumble
inexcusably
over
something
--
to
say
a
fatal
Yes
or
No
to
a
question
.
The
hand
of
God
was
upon
him
,
but
it
could
not
tear
him
away
from
his
child
.
And
,
as
if
in
a
nightmare
of
humiliation
,
every
featureless
man
seemed
an
enemy
.
He
let
his
hand
fall
heavily
on
the
table
.
Mr.
Van
Wyk
,
arms
down
,
chin
on
breast
,
with
a
gleam
of
white
teeth
pressing
on
the
lower
lip
,
meditated
on
Sterne
's
"
The
game
's
up
.
"
"
The
Serang
of
course
does
not
know
.
"
"
Nobody
,
"
said
Captain
Whalley
,
with
assurance
.
"
Ah
yes
.
Nobody
.
Very
well
.
Can
you
keep
it
up
to
the
end
of
the
trip
?
That
is
the
last
under
the
agreement
with
Massy
.
"
Captain
Whalley
got
up
and
stood
erect
,
very
stately
,
with
the
great
white
beard
lying
like
a
silver
breastplate
over
the
awful
secret
of
his
heart
.
Yes
;
that
was
the
only
hope
there
was
for
him
of
ever
seeing
her
again
,
of
securing
the
money
,
the
last
he
could
do
for
her
,
before
he
crept
away
somewhere
--
useless
,
a
burden
,
a
reproach
to
himself
.
His
voice
faltered
.
"
Think
of
it
!
Never
see
her
any
more
:
the
only
human
being
besides
myself
now
on
earth
that
can
remember
my
wife
.
She
's
just
like
her
mother
.
Lucky
the
poor
woman
is
where
there
are
no
tears
shed
over
those
they
loved
on
earth
and
that
remain
to
pray
not
to
be
led
into
temptation
--
because
,
I
suppose
,
the
blessed
know
the
secret
of
grace
in
God
's
dealings
with
His
created
children
.
"
He
swayed
a
little
,
said
with
austere
dignity
--
"
I
do
n't
.
I
know
only
the
child
He
has
given
me
.
"
