Captain
Nichols
dragged
Strickland
,
bleeding
from
a
wound
in
his
arm
,
his
clothes
in
rags
,
into
the
street
.
His
own
face
was
covered
with
blood
from
a
blow
on
the
nose
.
"
I
guess
you
’
d
better
get
out
of
Marseilles
before
Tough
Bill
comes
out
of
hospital
,
"
he
said
to
Strickland
,
when
they
had
got
back
to
the
Chink
’
s
Head
and
were
cleaning
themselves
.
"
This
beats
cock
-
fighting
,
"
said
Strickland
.
I
could
see
his
sardonic
smile
.
Captain
Nichols
was
anxious
.
He
knew
Tough
Bill
’
s
vindictiveness
.
Strickland
had
downed
the
mulatto
twice
,
and
the
mulatto
,
sober
,
was
a
man
to
be
reckoned
with
.
He
would
bide
his
time
stealthily
.
He
would
be
in
no
hurry
,
but
one
night
Strickland
would
get
a
knife
-
thrust
in
his
back
,
and
in
a
day
or
two
the
corpse
of
a
nameless
beach
-
comber
would
be
fished
out
of
the
dirty
water
of
the
harbour
.
Nichols
went
next
evening
to
Tough
Bill
’
s
house
and
made
enquiries
.
He
was
in
hospital
still
,
but
his
wife
,
who
had
been
to
see
him
,
said
he
was
swearing
hard
to
kill
Strickland
when
they
let
him
out
.
A
week
passed
.
"
That
’
s
what
I
always
say
,
"
reflected
Captain
Nichols
,
"
when
you
hurt
a
man
,
hurt
him
bad
.
It
gives
you
a
bit
of
time
to
look
about
and
think
what
you
’
ll
do
next
.
"
Then
Strickland
had
a
bit
of
luck
.
A
ship
bound
for
Australia
had
sent
to
the
Sailors
’
Home
for
a
stoker
in
place
of
one
who
had
thrown
himself
overboard
off
Gibraltar
in
an
attack
of
delirium
tremens
.
"
You
double
down
to
the
harbour
,
my
lad
,
"
said
the
Captain
to
Strickland
,
"
and
sign
on
.
You
’
ve
got
your
papers
.
"
Strickland
set
off
at
once
,
and
that
was
the
last
Captain
Nichols
saw
of
him
