“
Huh
!
there
’
s
a
lot
back
there
yet
,
”
said
a
man
farther
up
,
leaning
out
and
looking
back
at
the
applicants
for
whom
the
captain
was
pleading
.
“
Yes
.
Must
be
over
a
hundred
to
-
night
,
”
said
another
.
“
Look
at
the
guy
in
the
cab
,
”
observed
a
third
.
A
cab
had
stopped
.
Some
gentleman
in
evening
dress
reached
out
a
bill
to
the
captain
,
who
took
it
with
simple
thanks
and
turned
away
to
his
line
.
There
was
a
general
craning
of
necks
as
the
jewel
in
the
white
shirt
front
sparkled
and
the
cab
moved
off
.
Even
the
crowd
gaped
in
awe
.
“
That
fixes
up
nine
men
for
the
night
,
”
said
the
captain
,
counting
out
as
many
of
the
line
near
him
.
“
Line
up
over
there
.
Now
,
then
,
there
are
only
seven
.
I
need
twelve
cents
.
”
Money
came
slowly
.
In
the
course
of
time
the
crowd
thinned
out
to
a
meagre
handful
.
Fifth
Avenue
,
save
for
an
occasional
cab
or
foot
passenger
,
was
bare
.
Broadway
was
thinly
peopled
with
pedestrians
.
Only
now
and
then
a
stranger
passing
noticed
the
small
group
,
handed
out
a
coin
,
and
went
away
,
unheeding
.
The
captain
remained
stolid
and
determined
.
He
talked
on
,
very
slowly
,
uttering
the
fewest
words
and
with
a
certain
assurance
,
as
though
he
could
not
fail
.
“
Come
;
I
can
’
t
stay
out
here
all
night
.
These
men
are
getting
tired
and
cold
.
Some
one
give
me
four
cents
.
”
There
came
a
time
when
he
said
nothing
at
all
.
Money
was
handed
him
,
and
for
each
twelve
cents
he
singled
out
a
man
and
put
him
in
the
other
line
.
Then
he
walked
up
and
down
as
before
,
looking
at
the
ground
.
