"
Well
,
well
,
"
he
said
,
"
we
'll
have
to
please
ye
,
I
suppose
.
But
what
are
we
standing
here
for
?
It
's
perishing
cold
;
and
if
I
'm
no
mistaken
,
they
're
busking
the
Covenant
for
sea
.
"
242
As
soon
as
we
came
to
the
inn
,
Ransome
led
us
up
the
stair
to
a
small
room
,
with
a
bed
in
it
,
and
heated
like
an
oven
by
a
great
fire
of
coal
.
At
a
table
hard
by
the
chimney
,
a
tall
,
dark
,
sober-looking
man
sat
writing
.
In
spite
of
the
heat
of
the
room
,
he
wore
a
thick
sea-jacket
,
buttoned
to
the
neck
,
and
a
tall
hairy
cap
drawn
down
over
his
ears
;
yet
I
never
saw
any
man
,
not
even
a
judge
upon
the
bench
,
look
cooler
,
or
more
studious
and
self-possessed
,
than
this
ship-captain
.
243
He
got
to
his
feet
at
once
,
and
coming
forward
,
offered
his
large
hand
to
Ebenezer
.
"
I
am
proud
to
see
you
,
Mr.
Balfour
,
"
said
he
,
in
a
fine
deep
voice
,
"
and
glad
that
ye
are
here
in
time
.
The
wind
's
fair
,
and
the
tide
upon
the
turn
;
we
'll
see
the
old
coal-bucket
burning
on
the
Isle
of
May
before
to-night
.

Captain
Hoseason
,
"
returned
my
uncle
,
"
you
keep
your
room
unco
hot
.
"
245
"
It
's
a
habit
I
have
,
Mr.
Balfour
,
"
said
the
skipper
.
"
I
'm
a
cold-rife
man
by
my
nature
;
I
have
a
cold
blood
,
sir
.
There
's
neither
fur
,
nor
flannel
--
no
,
sir
,
nor
hot
rum
,
will
warm
up
what
they
call
the
temperature
.
Sir
,
it
's
the
same
with
most
men
that
have
been
carbonadoed
,
as
they
call
it
,
in
the
tropic
seas
.
"
246
"
Well
,
well
,
captain
,
"
replied
my
uncle
,
"
we
must
all
be
the
way
we
're
made
.
"
247
But
it
chanced
that
this
fancy
of
the
captain
's
had
a
great
share
in
my
misfortunes
.

For
though
I
had
promised
myself
not
to
let
my
kinsman
out
of
sight
,
I
was
both
so
impatient
for
a
nearer
look
of
the
sea
,
and
so
sickened
by
the
closeness
of
the
room
,
that
when
he
told
me
to
"
run
down-stairs
and
play
myself
awhile
,
"
I
was
fool
enough
to
take
him
at
his
word
.
249
Away
I
went
,
therefore
,
leaving
the
two
men
sitting
down
to
a
bottle
and
a
great
mass
of
papers
;
and
crossing
the
road
in
front
of
the
inn
,
walked
down
upon
the
beach
.
With
the
wind
in
that
quarter
,
only
little
wavelets
,
not
much
bigger
than
I
had
seen
upon
a
lake
,
beat
upon
the
shore
.
But
the
weeds
were
new
to
me
--
some
green
,
some
brown
and
long
,
and
some
with
little
bladders
that
crackled
between
my
fingers
.
Even
so
far
up
the
firth
,
the
smell
of
the
sea-water
was
exceedingly
salt
and
stirring
;
the
Covenant
,
besides
,
was
beginning
to
shake
out
her
sails
,
which
hung
upon
the
yards
in
clusters
;
and
the
spirit
of
all
that
I
beheld
put
me
in
thoughts
of
far
voyages
and
foreign
places
.
250
I
looked
,
too
,
at
the
seamen
with
the
skiff
--
big
brown
fellows
,
some
in
shirts
,
some
with
jackets
,
some
with
coloured
handkerchiefs
about
their
throats
,
one
with
a
brace
of
pistols
stuck
into
his
pockets
,
two
or
three
with
knotty
bludgeons
,
and
all
with
their
case-knives
.
I
passed
the
time
of
day
with
one
that
looked
less
desperate
than
his
fellows
,
and
asked
him
of
the
sailing
of
the
brig.
He
said
they
would
get
under
way
as
soon
as
the
ebb
set
,
and
expressed
his
gladness
to
be
out
of
a
port
where
there
were
no
taverns
and
fiddlers
;
but
all
with
such
horrifying
oaths
,
that
I
made
haste
to
get
away
from
him
.
