imperious ring, though he was
dressed in very dirty flannel shirs
and a pair of duck trousers that
had long ago been white, supported
by a leather belt His sleeves were
rolled up to the elbows, and arms

in the bow made light and
brought it to the stern. His brown
Arab face shone in the circle of
illumination, an aquiline, predatory
profile, and his eyes flashed upon
the group of white men around the
girl. .e
Sullivan brought her a tin cup
of tepid water into which he poured
little whiskey, and she drank it
with wry face. She glanced
around at the circle of roughly
dressed men, at the litter of miscel-
hneous articles that encountered
the deck of the rough native boat,
and shuddered. A moist, unhealthy
smell came off shore, there was a
sound of loud and violent alterca-
ticn in Dutch from the deck sof a
neighbOring bark and couple of
pistol shots cracked from some
where along the wharves.
