They
had
a
gorgeous
virility
,
the
charm
of
vagueness
,
they
passed
before
him
with
an
heroic
tread
;
they
carried
his
soul
away
with
them
and
made
it
drunk
with
the
divine
philtre
of
an
unbounded
confidence
in
itself
.
There
was
nothing
he
could
not
face
.
He
was
so
pleased
with
the
idea
that
he
smiled
,
keeping
perfunctorily
his
eyes
ahead
;
and
when
he
happened
to
glance
back
he
saw
the
white
streak
of
the
wake
drawn
as
straight
by
the
ship
's
keel
upon
the
sea
as
the
black
line
drawn
by
the
pencil
upon
the
chart
.
The
ash-buckets
racketed
,
clanking
up
and
down
the
stoke-hold
ventilators
,
and
this
tin-pot
clatter
warned
him
the
end
of
his
watch
was
near
.
He
sighed
with
content
,
with
regret
as
well
at
having
to
part
from
that
serenity
which
fostered
the
adventurous
freedom
of
his
thoughts
.
He
was
a
little
sleepy
too
,
and
felt
a
pleasurable
languor
running
through
every
limb
as
though
all
the
blood
in
his
body
had
turned
to
warm
milk
.
His
skipper
had
come
up
noiselessly
,
in
pyjamas
and
with
his
sleeping-jacket
flung
wide
open
.
Red
of
face
,
only
half
awake
,
the
left
eye
partly
closed
,
the
right
staring
stupid
and
glassy
,
he
hung
his
big
head
over
the
chart
and
scratched
his
ribs
sleepily
.
There
was
something
obscene
in
the
sight
of
his
naked
flesh
.
His
bared
breast
glistened
soft
and
greasy
as
though
he
had
sweated
out
his
fat
in
his
sleep
.
He
pronounced
a
professional
remark
in
a
voice
harsh
and
dead
,
resembling
the
rasping
sound
of
a
wood-file
on
the
edge
of
a
plank
;
the
fold
of
his
double
chin
hung
like
a
bag
triced
up
close
under
the
hinge
of
his
jaw
.
Jim
started
,
and
his
answer
was
full
of
deference
;
but
the
odious
and
fleshy
figure
,
as
though
seen
for
the
first
time
in
a
revealing
moment
,
fixed
itself
in
his
memory
for
ever
as
the
incarnation
of
everything
vile
and
base
that
lurks
in
the
world
we
love
:
in
our
own
hearts
we
trust
for
our
salvation
,
in
the
men
that
surround
us
,
in
the
sights
that
fill
our
eyes
,
in
the
sounds
that
fill
our
ears
,
and
in
the
air
that
fills
our
lungs
.
The
thin
gold
shaving
of
the
moon
floating
slowly
downwards
had
lost
itself
on
the
darkened
surface
of
the
waters
,
and
the
eternity
beyond
the
sky
seemed
to
come
down
nearer
to
the
earth
,
with
the
augmented
glitter
of
the
stars
,
with
the
more
profound
sombreness
in
the
lustre
of
the
half-transparent
dome
covering
the
flat
disc
of
an
opaque
sea
.
The
ship
moved
so
smoothly
that
her
onward
motion
was
imperceptible
to
the
senses
of
men
,
as
though
she
had
been
a
crowded
planet
speeding
through
the
dark
spaces
of
ether
behind
the
swarm
of
suns
,
in
the
appalling
and
calm
solitudes
awaiting
the
breath
of
future
creations
.
'
Hot
is
no
name
for
it
down
below
,
'
said
a
voice
.
Jim
smiled
without
looking
round
.
The
skipper
presented
an
unmoved
breadth
of
back
:
it
was
the
renegade
's
trick
to
appear
pointedly
unaware
of
your
existence
unless
it
suited
his
purpose
to
turn
at
you
with
a
devouring
glare
before
he
let
loose
a
torrent
of
foamy
,
abusive
jargon
that
came
like
a
gush
from
a
sewer
.
Now
he
emitted
only
a
sulky
grunt
;
the
second
engineer
at
the
head
of
the
bridge-ladder
,
kneading
with
damp
palms
a
dirty
sweat-rag
,
unabashed
,
continued
the
tale
of
his
complaints
.
The
sailors
had
a
good
time
of
it
up
here
,
and
what
was
the
use
of
them
in
the
world
he
would
be
blowed
if
he
could
see
.
The
poor
devils
of
engineers
had
to
get
the
ship
along
anyhow
,
and
they
could
very
well
do
the
rest
too
;
by
gosh
they
--
'
Shut
up
!
'
growled
the
German
stolidly
.
'
Oh
yes
!
Shut
up
--
and
when
anything
goes
wrong
you
fly
to
us
,
do
n't
you
?
'
went
on
the
other
.
He
was
more
than
half
cooked
,
he
expected
;
but
anyway
,
now
,
he
did
not
mind
how
much
he
sinned
,
because
these
last
three
days
he
had
passed
through
a
fine
course
of
training
for
the
place
where
the
bad
boys
go
when
they
die
--
b
'
gosh
,
he
had
--
besides
being
made
jolly
well
deaf
by
the
blasted
racket
below
.
The
durned
,
compound
,
surface-condensing
,
rotten
scrap-heap
rattled
and
banged
down
there
like
an
old
deck-winch
,
only
more
so
;
and
what
made
him
risk
his
life
every
night
and
day
that
God
made
amongst
the
refuse
of
a
breaking-up
yard
flying
round
at
fifty-seven
revolutions
,
was
more
than
he
could
tell
.
He
must
have
been
born
reckless
,
b
'
gosh
.
He
...
'
Where
did
you
get
drink
?
'
inquired
the
German
,
very
savage
;
but
motionless
in
the
light
of
the
binnacle
,
like
a
clumsy
effigy
of
a
man
cut
out
of
a
block
of
fat
.
Jim
went
on
smiling
at
the
retreating
horizon
;
his
heart
was
full
of
generous
impulses
,
and
his
thought
was
contemplating
his
own
superiority
.
'
Drink
!
'
repeated
the
engineer
with
amiable
scorn
:
he
was
hanging
on
with
both
hands
to
the
rail
,
a
shadowy
figure
with
flexible
legs
.
'
Not
from
you
,
captain
.
You
're
far
too
mean
,
b
'
gosh
.
You
would
let
a
good
man
die
sooner
than
give
him
a
drop
of
schnapps
.
That
's
what
you
Germans
call
economy
.
Penny
wise
,
pound
foolish
.
'
He
became
sentimental
.
The
chief
had
given
him
a
four-finger
nip
about
ten
o'clock
--
'
only
one
,
s
'
elp
me
!
'
--
good
old
chief
;
but
as
to
getting
the
old
fraud
out
of
his
bunk
--
a
five-ton
crane
could
n't
do
it
.
Not
it
.
Not
to-night
anyhow
.
He
was
sleeping
sweetly
like
a
little
child
,
with
a
bottle
of
prime
brandy
under
his
pillow
.
From
the
thick
throat
of
the
commander
of
the
Patna
came
a
low
rumble
,
on
which
the
sound
of
the
word
Schwein
fluttered
high
and
low
like
a
capricious
feather
in
a
faint
stir
of
air
.
He
and
the
chief
engineer
had
been
cronies
for
a
good
few
years
--
serving
the
same
jovial
,
crafty
,
old
Chinaman
,
with
horn-rimmed
goggles
and
strings
of
red
silk
plaited
into
the
venerable
grey
hairs
of
his
pigtail
.
The
quay-side
opinion
in
the
Patna
's
home-port
was
that
these
two
in
the
way
of
brazen
peculation
'
had
done
together
pretty
well
everything
you
can
think
of
.
'
Outwardly
they
were
badly
matched
:
one
dull-eyed
,
malevolent
,
and
of
soft
fleshy
curves
;
the
other
lean
,
all
hollows
,
with
a
head
long
and
bony
like
the
head
of
an
old
horse
,
with
sunken
cheeks
,
with
sunken
temples
,
with
an
indifferent
glazed
glance
of
sunken
eyes
.
He
had
been
stranded
out
East
somewhere
--
in
Canton
,
in
Shanghai
,
or
perhaps
in
Yokohama
;
he
probably
did
not
care
to
remember
himself
the
exact
locality
,
nor
yet
the
cause
of
his
shipwreck
.
He
had
been
,
in
mercy
to
his
youth
,
kicked
quietly
out
of
his
ship
twenty
years
ago
or
more
,
and
it
might
have
been
so
much
worse
for
him
that
the
memory
of
the
episode
had
in
it
hardly
a
trace
of
misfortune
.
Then
,
steam
navigation
expanding
in
these
seas
and
men
of
his
craft
being
scarce
at
first
,
he
had
'
got
on
'
after
a
sort
.
He
was
eager
to
let
strangers
know
in
a
dismal
mumble
that
he
was
'
an
old
stager
out
here
.
'
When
he
moved
,
a
skeleton
seemed
to
sway
loose
in
his
clothes
;
his
walk
was
mere
wandering
,
and
he
was
given
to
wander
thus
around
the
engine-room
skylight
,
smoking
,
without
relish
,
doctored
tobacco
in
a
brass
bowl
at
the
end
of
a
cherrywood
stem
four
feet
long
,
with
the
imbecile
gravity
of
a
thinker
evolving
a
system
of
philosophy
from
the
hazy
glimpse
of
a
truth
.
He
was
usually
anything
but
free
with
his
private
store
of
liquor
;
but
on
that
night
he
had
departed
from
his
principles
,
so
that
his
second
,
a
weak-headed
child
of
Wapping
,
what
with
the
unexpectedness
of
the
treat
and
the
strength
of
the
stuff
,
had
become
very
happy
,
cheeky
,
and
talkative
.
The
fury
of
the
New
South
Wales
German
was
extreme
;
he
puffed
like
an
exhaust-pipe
,
and
Jim
,
faintly
amused
by
the
scene
,
was
impatient
for
the
time
when
he
could
get
below
:
the
last
ten
minutes
of
the
watch
were
irritating
like
a
gun
that
hangs
fire
;
those
men
did
not
belong
to
the
world
of
heroic
adventure
;
they
were
n't
bad
chaps
though
.
Even
the
skipper
himself
...
His
gorge
rose
at
the
mass
of
panting
flesh
from
which
issued
gurgling
mutters
,
a
cloudy
trickle
of
filthy
expressions
;
but
he
was
too
pleasurably
languid
to
dislike
actively
this
or
any
other
thing
.
The
quality
of
these
men
did
not
matter
;
he
rubbed
shoulders
with
them
,
but
they
could
not
touch
him
;
he
shared
the
air
they
breathed
,
but
he
was
different
...
Would
the
skipper
go
for
the
engineer
?
...
The
life
was
easy
and
he
was
too
sure
of
himself
--
too
sure
of
himself
to
...
The
line
dividing
his
meditation
from
a
surreptitious
doze
on
his
feet
was
thinner
than
a
thread
in
a
spider
's
web
.
The
second
engineer
was
coming
by
easy
transitions
to
the
consideration
of
his
finances
and
of
his
courage
.
