“
Undoubtedly
,
captain
.
”
“
Yes
,
and
that
is
what
everybody
says
!
But
,
pardon
me
,
I
cannot
stay
any
longer
.
I
regret
that
I
cannot
alter
my
mind
with
respect
to
your
proposal
.
But
,
at
any
rate
,
you
will
only
have
a
few
days
to
wait
.
The
season
is
about
to
open
.
Trading
ships
and
whalers
will
put
in
at
Christmas
Harbour
,
and
you
will
be
able
to
make
a
choice
,
with
the
certainty
of
going
to
the
port
you
want
to
reach
.
I
am
very
sorry
,
sir
,
and
I
salute
you
.
”
With
these
words
Captain
Len
Guy
walked
quickly
away
,
and
the
interview
ended
differently
from
what
I
had
expected
,
that
is
to
say
in
formal
,
although
polite
,
fashion
.
As
there
is
no
use
in
contending
with
the
impossible
,
I
gave
up
the
hope
of
a
passage
on
the
Halbrane
,
but
continued
to
feel
angry
with
her
intractable
captain
.
And
why
should
I
not
confess
that
my
curiosity
was
aroused
?
I
felt
that
there
was
something
mysterious
about
this
sullen
mariner
,
and
I
should
have
liked
to
find
out
what
it
was
.
That
day
,
Atkins
wanted
to
know
whether
Captain
Len
Guy
had
made
himself
less
disagreeable
.
I
had
to
acknowledge
that
I
had
been
no
more
fortunate
in
my
negotiations
than
my
host
himself
,
and
the
avowal
surprised
him
not
a
little
.
He
could
not
understand
the
captain
’
s
obstinate
refusal
.
And
—
a
fact
which
touched
him
more
nearly
—
the
Green
Cormorant
had
not
been
visited
by
either
Len
Guy
or
his
crew
since
the
arrival
of
the
Halbrane
.
The
men
were
evidently
acting
upon
orders
.
So
far
as
Hurliguerly
was
concerned
,
it
was
easy
to
understand
that
after
his
imprudent
advance
he
did
not
care
to
keep
up
useless
relations
with
me
.
I
knew
not
whether
he
had
attempted
to
shake
the
resolution
of
his
chief
;
but
I
was
certain
of
one
thing
;
if
he
had
made
any
such
effort
it
had
failed
.
During
the
three
following
days
,
the
10th
,
11th
,
and
12th
of
August
,
the
work
of
repairing
and
re
-
victualling
the
schooner
went
on
briskly
;
but
all
this
was
done
with
regularity
,
and
without
such
noise
and
quarrelling
as
seamen
at
anchor
usually
indulge
in
.
The
Halbrane
was
evidently
well
commanded
,
her
crew
well
kept
in
hand
,
discipline
strictly
maintained
.
The
schooner
was
to
sail
on
the
15th
of
August
,
and
on
the
eve
of
that
day
I
had
no
reason
to
think
that
Captain
Len
Guy
had
repented
him
of
his
categorical
refusal
.
Indeed
,
I
had
made
up
my
mind
to
the
disappointment
,
and
had
no
longer
any
angry
feeling
about
it
.
When
Captain
Len
Guy
and
myself
met
on
the
quay
,
we
took
no
notice
of
each
other
;
nevertheless
,
I
fancied
there
was
some
hesitation
in
his
manner
;
as
though
he
would
have
liked
to
speak
to
me
.
He
did
not
do
so
,
however
,
and
I
was
not
disposed
to
seek
a
further
explanation
.
At
seven
o
’
clock
in
the
evening
of
the
14th
of
August
,
the
island
being
already
wrapped
in
darkness
,
I
was
walking
on
the
port
after
I
had
dined
,
walking
briskly
too
,
for
it
was
cold
,
although
dry
weather
.
The
sky
was
studded
with
stars
and
the
air
was
very
keen
.
I
could
not
stay
out
long
,
and
was
returning
to
mine
inn
,
when
a
man
crossed
my
path
,
paused
,
came
back
,
and
stopped
in
front
of
me
.
It
was
the
captain
of
the
Halbrane
.
“
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
”
he
began
,
“
the
Halbrane
sails
to
-
morrow
morning
,
with
the
ebb
tide
.
”
