Captain
Whalley
steadied
the
trembling
of
his
limbs
by
an
effort
.
Should
he
stop
the
engines
at
once
and
give
himself
away
.
A
gust
of
irresolution
swayed
all
sorts
of
bizarre
notions
in
his
mind
.
The
unusual
had
come
,
and
he
was
not
fit
to
deal
with
it
.
In
this
passage
of
inexpressible
anguish
he
saw
her
face
--
the
face
of
a
young
girl
--
with
an
amazing
strength
of
illusion
.
No
,
he
must
not
give
himself
away
after
having
gone
so
far
for
her
sake
.
"
You
steered
the
course
?
You
made
it
?
Speak
the
truth
.
"
"
Ya
,
Tuan
.
On
the
course
now
.
Look
.
"
Captain
Whalley
strode
to
the
binnacle
,
which
to
him
made
such
a
dim
spot
of
light
in
an
infinity
of
shapeless
shadow
.
By
bending
his
face
right
down
to
the
glass
he
had
been
able
before
...
Having
to
stoop
so
low
,
he
put
out
,
instinctively
,
his
arm
to
where
he
knew
there
was
a
stanchion
to
steady
himself
against
.
His
hand
closed
on
something
that
was
not
wood
but
cloth
.
The
slight
pull
adding
to
the
weight
,
the
loop
broke
,
and
Mr.
Massy
's
coat
falling
,
struck
the
deck
heavily
with
a
dull
thump
,
accompanied
by
a
lot
of
clicks
.
"
What
's
this
?
"
Captain
Whalley
fell
on
his
knees
,
with
groping
hands
extended
in
a
frank
gesture
of
blindness
.
They
trembled
,
these
hands
feeling
for
the
truth
.
He
saw
it
.
Iron
near
the
compass
.
Wrong
course
.
Wreck
her
!
His
ship
.
Oh
no
.
Not
that
.
"
Jump
and
stop
her
!
"
he
roared
out
in
a
voice
not
his
own
.
He
ran
himself
--
hands
forward
,
a
blind
man
,
and
while
the
clanging
of
the
gong
echoed
still
all
over
the
ship
,
she
seemed
to
butt
full
tilt
into
the
side
of
a
mountain
.
It
was
low
water
along
the
north
side
of
the
strait
.
Mr.
Massy
had
not
reckoned
on
that
.
Instead
of
running
aground
for
half
her
length
,
the
Sofala
butted
the
sheer
ridge
of
a
stone
reef
which
would
have
been
awash
at
high
water
.
This
made
the
shock
absolutely
terrific
.
Everybody
in
the
ship
that
was
standing
was
thrown
down
headlong
:
the
shaken
rigging
made
a
great
rattling
to
the
very
trucks
.
