The
other
man
,
who
stood
talking
to
Sir
Henry
,
was
stout
and
dark
,
and
of
quite
a
different
cut
.
I
suspected
at
once
that
he
was
a
naval
officer
;
I
do
n't
know
why
,
but
it
is
difficult
to
mistake
a
navy
man
.
I
have
gone
shooting
trips
with
several
of
them
in
the
course
of
my
life
,
and
they
have
always
proved
themselves
the
best
and
bravest
and
nicest
fellows
I
ever
met
,
though
sadly
given
,
some
of
them
,
to
the
use
of
profane
language
.
I
asked
a
page
or
two
back
,
what
is
a
gentleman
?
I
'll
answer
the
question
now
:
A
Royal
Naval
officer
is
,
in
a
general
sort
of
way
,
though
of
course
there
may
be
a
black
sheep
among
them
here
and
there
.
I
fancy
it
is
just
the
wide
seas
and
the
breath
of
God
's
winds
that
wash
their
hearts
and
blow
the
bitterness
out
of
their
minds
and
make
them
what
men
ought
to
be
.
Well
,
to
return
,
I
proved
right
again
;
I
ascertained
that
the
dark
man
was
a
naval
officer
,
a
lieutenant
of
thirty-one
,
who
,
after
seventeen
years
'
service
,
had
been
turned
out
of
her
Majesty
's
employ
with
the
barren
honour
of
a
commander
's
rank
,
because
it
was
impossible
that
he
should
be
promoted
.
This
is
what
people
who
serve
the
Queen
have
to
expect
:
to
be
shot
out
into
the
cold
world
to
find
a
living
just
when
they
are
beginning
really
to
understand
their
work
,
and
to
reach
the
prime
of
life
.
I
suppose
they
do
n't
mind
it
,
but
for
my
own
part
I
had
rather
earn
my
bread
as
a
hunter
.
One
's
halfpence
are
as
scarce
perhaps
,
but
you
do
not
get
so
many
kicks
.
The
officer
's
name
I
found
out
--
by
referring
to
the
passengers
'
lists
--
was
Good
--
Captain
John
Good
.
He
was
broad
,
of
medium
height
,
dark
,
stout
,
and
rather
a
curious
man
to
look
at
.
He
was
so
very
neat
and
so
very
clean-shaved
,
and
he
always
wore
an
eye-glass
in
his
right
eye
.
It
seemed
to
grow
there
,
for
it
had
no
string
,
and
he
never
took
it
out
except
to
wipe
it
.
At
first
I
thought
he
used
to
sleep
in
it
,
but
afterwards
I
found
that
this
was
a
mistake
.
He
put
it
in
his
trousers
pocket
when
he
went
to
bed
,
together
with
his
false
teeth
,
of
which
he
had
two
beautiful
sets
that
,
my
own
being
none
of
the
best
,
have
often
caused
me
to
break
the
tenth
commandment
.
But
I
am
anticipating
.
Soon
after
we
had
got
under
way
evening
closed
in
,
and
brought
with
it
very
dirty
weather
.
A
keen
breeze
sprung
up
off
land
,
and
a
kind
of
aggravated
Scotch
mist
soon
drove
everybody
from
the
deck
.
As
for
the
Dunkeld
,
she
is
a
flat-bottomed
punt
,
and
going
up
light
as
she
was
,
she
rolled
very
heavily
.
It
almost
seemed
as
though
she
would
go
right
over
,
but
she
never
did
.
It
was
quite
impossible
to
walk
about
,
so
I
stood
near
the
engines
where
it
was
warm
,
and
amused
myself
with
watching
the
pendulum
,
which
was
fixed
opposite
to
me
,
swinging
slowly
backwards
and
forwards
as
the
vessel
rolled
,
and
marking
the
angle
she
touched
at
each
lurch
.
"
That
pendulum
's
wrong
;
it
is
not
properly
weighted
,
"
suddenly
said
a
somewhat
testy
voice
at
my
shoulder
.
Looking
round
I
saw
the
naval
officer
whom
I
had
noticed
when
the
passengers
came
aboard
.
"
Indeed
,
now
what
makes
you
think
so
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Think
so
.
I
do
n't
think
at
all
.
Why
there
"
--
as
she
righted
herself
after
a
roll
--
"
if
the
ship
had
really
rolled
to
the
degree
that
thing
pointed
to
,
then
she
would
never
have
rolled
again
,
that
's
all
.
But
it
is
just
like
these
merchant
skippers
,
they
are
always
so
confoundedly
careless
.
"
Just
then
the
dinner-bell
rang
,
and
I
was
not
sorry
,
for
it
is
a
dreadful
thing
to
have
to
listen
to
an
officer
of
the
Royal
Navy
when
he
gets
on
to
that
subject
.
I
only
know
one
worse
thing
,
and
that
is
to
hear
a
merchant
skipper
express
his
candid
opinion
of
officers
of
the
Royal
Navy
.
Captain
Good
and
I
went
down
to
dinner
together
,
and
there
we
found
Sir
Henry
Curtis
already
seated
.
He
and
Captain
Good
were
placed
together
,
and
I
sat
opposite
to
them
.
The
captain
and
I
soon
fell
into
talk
about
shooting
and
what
not
;
he
asking
me
many
questions
,
for
he
is
very
inquisitive
about
all
sorts
of
things
,
and
I
answering
them
as
well
as
I
could
.
Presently
he
got
on
to
elephants
.
"
Ah
,
sir
,
"
called
out
somebody
who
was
sitting
near
me
,
"
you
've
reached
the
right
man
for
that
;
Hunter
Quatermain
should
be
able
to
tell
you
about
elephants
if
anybody
can
.
"
