He
staggered
to
his
feet
,
tensed
for
more
terrors
,
and
looked
up
at
a
huge
peaked
cap
.
It
was
a
white-topped
cap
,
and
above
the
green
shade
of
the
peak
was
a
crown
,
an
anchor
,
gold
foliage
.
He
saw
white
drill
,
epaulettes
,
a
revolver
,
a
row
of
gilt
buttons
down
the
front
of
a
uniform
.
A
naval
officer
stood
on
the
sand
,
looking
down
at
Ralph
in
wary
astonishment
.
On
the
beach
behind
him
was
a
cutter
,
her
bows
hauled
up
and
held
by
two
ratings
.
In
the
stern-sheets
another
rating
held
a
sub-machine
gun
.
The
ululation
faltered
and
died
away
.

The
officer
looked
at
Ralph
doubtfully
for
a
moment
,
then
took
his
hand
away
from
the
butt
of
the
revolver
.
"
Hullo
.
"
Squirming
a
little
,
conscious
of
his
filthy
appearance
,
Ralph
answered
shyly
.
"
Hullo
.

The
officer
nodded
,
as
if
a
question
had
been
answered
.
"
Are
there
any
adults
--
any
grownups
with
you
?
"
Dumbly
,
Ralph
shook
his
head
.
He
turned
a
halfpace
on
the
sand
.
A
semicircle
of
little
boys
,
their
bodies
streaked
with
colored
clay
,
sharp
sticks
in
their
hands
,
were
standing
on
the
beach
making
no
noise
at
all
.
