He
knew
,
or
at
least
he
used
,
but
two
arguments
in
his
dealings
with
them
--
a
belaying
pin
and
a
revolver
--
nor
is
it
likely
that
the
motley
aggregation
he
signed
would
have
understood
aught
else
.
So
it
was
that
from
the
second
day
out
from
Freetown
John
Clayton
and
his
young
wife
witnessed
scenes
upon
the
deck
of
the
Fuwalda
such
as
they
had
believed
were
never
enacted
outside
the
covers
of
printed
stories
of
the
sea
.
It
was
on
the
morning
of
the
second
day
that
the
first
link
was
forged
in
what
was
destined
to
form
a
chain
of
circumstances
ending
in
a
life
for
one
then
unborn
such
as
has
never
been
paralleled
in
the
history
of
man
.
Two
sailors
were
washing
down
the
decks
of
the
Fuwalda
,
the
first
mate
was
on
duty
,
and
the
captain
had
stopped
to
speak
with
John
Clayton
and
Lady
Alice
.
The
men
were
working
backwards
toward
the
little
party
who
were
facing
away
from
the
sailors
.
Closer
and
closer
they
came
,
until
one
of
them
was
directly
behind
the
captain
.
In
another
moment
he
would
have
passed
by
and
this
strange
narrative
would
never
have
been
recorded
.
But
just
that
instant
the
officer
turned
to
leave
Lord
and
Lady
Greystoke
,
and
,
as
he
did
so
,
tripped
against
the
sailor
and
sprawled
headlong
upon
the
deck
,
overturning
the
water-pail
so
that
he
was
drenched
in
its
dirty
contents
.
For
an
instant
the
scene
was
ludicrous
;
but
only
for
an
instant
.
With
a
volley
of
awful
oaths
,
his
face
suffused
with
the
scarlet
of
mortification
and
rage
,
the
captain
regained
his
feet
,
and
with
a
terrific
blow
felled
the
sailor
to
the
deck
.
The
man
was
small
and
rather
old
,
so
that
the
brutality
of
the
act
was
thus
accentuated
.
The
other
seaman
,
however
,
was
neither
old
nor
small
--
a
huge
bear
of
a
man
,
with
fierce
black
mustachios
,
and
a
great
bull
neck
set
between
massive
shoulders
.
As
he
saw
his
mate
go
down
he
crouched
,
and
,
with
a
low
snarl
,
sprang
upon
the
captain
crushing
him
to
his
knees
with
a
single
mighty
blow
.
