1t was in this frame of mind that the
captain went to the consulate one
morning to conclude the arrangements
for the passage home. The house stood
on a rise; from it's windows one COM

and the harbor. 1t was a bright day OF

his men and lecture them on the need
for caution.

"Qh, come on" snarled the mate. "If

Still the pumping went on, while
those who held the poop packed the
boat with food for their run to the
nearest land. To all of them came that
sense of doing vile thing openly; the
silence of the laboring sailors amid
ships was harder to bear with a stolid
front than curses and supplications.
They avoided looking at the men they
had doomed till the boat was ready.

mate.
But still the men made no sign, even
when the falls ran out and the boat
slid down. They were watching intent
ly, with eyes that showed narrow and
intent, but the throb and cluck of the
pumps did not abate, nor did they pause
in the woeful cadence of their swing

wonderful and oppressive, and to those
