I
told
him
my
name
,
Edward
Prendick
,
and
how
I
had
taken
to
Natural
History
as
a
relief
from
the
dulness
of
my
comfortable
independence
.
He
seemed
interested
in
this
.
"
I
've
done
some
science
myself
.
I
did
my
Biology
at
University
College
,
--
getting
out
the
ovary
of
the
earthworm
and
the
radula
of
the
snail
,
and
all
that
.
Lord
!
It
's
ten
years
ago
.
But
go
on
!
go
on
!
tell
me
about
the
boat
.
"
He
was
evidently
satisfied
with
the
frankness
of
my
story
,
which
I
told
in
concise
sentences
enough
,
for
I
felt
horribly
weak
;
and
when
it
was
finished
he
reverted
at
once
to
the
topic
of
Natural
History
and
his
own
biological
studies
.
He
began
to
question
me
closely
about
Tottenham
Court
Road
and
Gower
Street
.
"
Is
Caplatzi
still
flourishing
?
What
a
shop
that
was
!
"
He
had
evidently
been
a
very
ordinary
medical
student
,
and
drifted
incontinently
to
the
topic
of
the
music
halls
.
He
told
me
some
anecdotes
.
"
Left
it
all
,
"
he
said
,
"
ten
years
ago
.
How
jolly
it
all
used
to
be
!
But
I
made
a
young
ass
of
myself
,
--
played
myself
out
before
I
was
twenty-one
.
I
daresay
it
's
all
different
now
.
But
I
must
look
up
that
ass
of
a
cook
,
and
see
what
he
's
done
to
your
mutton
"
The
growling
overhead
was
renewed
,
so
suddenly
and
with
so
much
savage
anger
that
it
startled
me
.
"
What
's
that
?
"
I
called
after
him
,
but
the
door
had
closed
.
He
came
back
again
with
the
boiled
mutton
,
and
I
was
so
excited
by
the
appetising
smell
of
it
that
I
forgot
the
noise
of
the
beast
that
had
troubled
me
.
After
a
day
of
alternate
sleep
and
feeding
I
was
so
far
recovered
as
to
be
able
to
get
from
my
bunk
to
the
scuttle
,
and
see
the
green
seas
trying
to
keep
pace
with
us
.
I
judged
the
schooner
was
running
before
the
wind
.
Montgomery
--
that
was
the
name
of
the
flaxen-haired
man
--
came
in
again
as
I
stood
there
,
and
I
asked
him
for
some
clothes
.
He
lent
me
some
duck
things
of
his
own
,
for
those
I
had
worn
in
the
boat
had
been
thrown
overboard
.
They
were
rather
loose
for
me
,
for
he
was
large
and
long
in
his
limbs
.
He
told
me
casually
that
the
captain
was
three-parts
drunk
in
his
own
cabin
.
As
I
assumed
the
clothes
,
I
began
asking
him
some
questions
about
the
destination
of
the
ship
.
He
said
the
ship
was
bound
to
Hawaii
,
but
that
it
had
to
land
him
first
.
"
Where
?
"
said
I.
"
It
's
an
island
,
where
I
live
.
So
far
as
I
know
,
it
has
n't
got
a
name
.
"
He
stared
at
me
with
his
nether
lip
dropping
,
and
looked
so
wilfully
stupid
of
a
sudden
that
it
came
into
my
head
that
he
desired
to
avoid
my
questions
.
I
had
the
discretion
to
ask
no
more
.
