pending on him, and who was he to
take this young unmarried girl under
his charge?
They talked long on that and other
days always avoiding vital questions,
and meanwhile the reeking cattleboat
wallowed north carrying with her, as
1t seemed, a little charmed circle of
evil weather as her constant accom-
paniment.
Between times, when he was not In
attendance on Miss Carnegie, Kettle
watched the life Of the steamer with
professional interest and all a strong
mans contempt for weak command
err. The tween decks was an aceldama.
In the heavy weather the cattle pens
smashed, the poor beasts broke their
legs, gored one another and were surg
ed about in horrible melees. The cat
tlemen were half incapable, wholly
mutinous. They dealt out compressed
hay and water when the gangways
were cleansed and held to 1t that this
was the beginning and end of their
duty. To pass down the winch chain
and haul out the dead and wounded
was piece Of employment that they
fatty refused to tamper with. They
said the deck hands could do it.
The deck hands, seeming weak COM
mander, said they had been hired as
sailormen and also declined to NEEDLE,
and as a consequence this necessary
sepulcher business was done by the
mates.
In Kettles first and only interview
with the cattleboat's captain he saw
this operation going on through
hatchway before his very face. The
mate and the second mate clambered |
down by the battens and went along |
the filthy gangways below, dragging
the winch chain after them. The place
was cluttered with carcasses and
damned with broken pens. all surging
together to the roll of the ship The
owings and the groans of the cattle
we're awful. But at last a blight of
'ope was made fast round a dead
beasts horns and the word was given
o haul. The winch chartered and the
hahn drew. The two men below,
umping to this side and that for their
ives, levered the carcass free of OBJ
tacles, and at last it came up the
atch q battered, shapeless rag, almost
nrecognizable
