We
left
the
cabin
and
found
a
man
at
the
companion
obstructing
our
way
.
He
was
standing
on
the
ladder
with
his
back
to
us
,
peering
over
the
combing
of
the
hatchway
.
He
was
,
I
could
see
,
a
misshapen
man
,
short
,
broad
,
and
clumsy
,
with
a
crooked
back
,
a
hairy
neck
,
and
a
head
sunk
between
his
shoulders
.
He
was
dressed
in
dark-blue
serge
,
and
had
peculiarly
thick
,
coarse
,
black
hair
.
I
heard
the
unseen
dogs
growl
furiously
,
and
forthwith
he
ducked
back
,
--
coming
into
contact
with
the
hand
I
put
out
to
fend
him
off
from
myself
.
He
turned
with
animal
swiftness
.
In
some
indefinable
way
the
black
face
thus
flashed
upon
me
shocked
me
profoundly
.
It
was
a
singularly
deformed
one
.
The
facial
part
projected
,
forming
something
dimly
suggestive
of
a
muzzle
,
and
the
huge
half-open
mouth
showed
as
big
white
teeth
as
I
had
ever
seen
in
a
human
mouth
.
His
eyes
were
blood-shot
at
the
edges
,
with
scarcely
a
rim
of
white
round
the
hazel
pupils
.
There
was
a
curious
glow
of
excitement
in
his
face
.
"
Confound
you
!
"
said
Montgomery
.
"
Why
the
devil
do
n't
you
get
out
of
the
way
?
"
The
black-faced
man
started
aside
without
a
word
.
I
went
on
up
the
companion
,
staring
at
him
instinctively
as
I
did
so
.
Montgomery
stayed
at
the
foot
for
a
moment
.
"
You
have
no
business
here
,
you
know
,
"
he
said
in
a
deliberate
tone
.
"
Your
place
is
forward
.
"
The
black-faced
man
cowered
.
"
They
--
wo
n't
have
me
forward
.
"
He
spoke
slowly
,
with
a
queer
,
hoarse
quality
in
his
voice
.
"
Wo
n't
have
you
forward
!
"
said
Montgomery
,
in
a
menacing
voice
.
"
But
I
tell
you
to
go
!
"
He
was
on
the
brink
of
saying
something
further
,
then
looked
up
at
me
suddenly
and
followed
me
up
the
ladder
.
I
had
paused
half
way
through
the
hatchway
,
looking
back
,
still
astonished
beyond
measure
at
the
grotesque
ugliness
of
this
black-faced
creature
.
I
had
never
beheld
such
a
repulsive
and
extraordinary
face
before
,
and
yet
--
if
the
contradiction
is
credible
--
I
experienced
at
the
same
time
an
odd
feeling
that
in
some
way
I
had
already
encountered
exactly
the
features
and
gestures
that
now
amazed
me
.
Afterwards
it
occurred
to
me
that
probably
I
had
seen
him
as
I
was
lifted
aboard
;
and
yet
that
scarcely
satisfied
my
suspicion
of
a
previous
acquaintance
.
Yet
how
one
could
have
set
eyes
on
so
singular
a
face
and
yet
have
forgotten
the
precise
occasion
,
passed
my
imagination
.
Montgomery
's
movement
to
follow
me
released
my
attention
,
and
I
turned
and
looked
about
me
at
the
flush
deck
of
the
little
schooner
.
I
was
already
half
prepared
by
the
sounds
I
had
heard
for
what
I
saw
.
Certainly
I
never
beheld
a
deck
so
dirty
.
It
was
littered
with
scraps
of
carrot
,
shreds
of
green
stuff
,
and
indescribable
filth
.
Fastened
by
chains
to
the
mainmast
were
a
number
of
grisly
staghounds
,
who
now
began
leaping
and
barking
at
me
,
and
by
the
mizzen
a
huge
puma
was
cramped
in
a
little
iron
cage
far
too
small
even
to
give
it
turning
room
.
Farther
under
the
starboard
bulwark
were
some
big
hutches
containing
a
number
of
rabbits
,
and
a
solitary
llama
was
squeezed
in
a
mere
box
of
a
cage
forward
.
The
dogs
were
muzzled
by
leather
straps
.
The
only
human
being
on
deck
was
a
gaunt
and
silent
sailor
at
the
wheel
.
The
patched
and
dirty
spankers
were
tense
before
the
wind
,
and
up
aloft
the
little
ship
seemed
carrying
every
sail
she
had
.
The
sky
was
clear
,
the
sun
midway
down
the
western
sky
;
long
waves
,
capped
by
the
breeze
with
froth
,
were
running
with
us
.
We
went
past
the
steersman
to
the
taffrail
,
and
saw
the
water
come
foaming
under
the
stern
and
the
bubbles
go
dancing
and
vanishing
in
her
wake
.
I
turned
and
surveyed
the
unsavoury
length
of
the
ship
.
