think that he had lost all else through
his own egregious folly, to find him
self reduced to the kennels!
Striker, emerging from his room for
breakfast. found the passenger with a
hostile look in his eye and jaw set
in ugly fashion. His eyes. too, were
the abiding place of smoldering devils,
and the captain. recognizing them, con-
siderately forbore to stir them up with
any untimely pleasantries. 10 be
sure, he was autocrat on his own ship.
and Kirkwood's standing aboard was
nil, but then there was just enough
yellow in the complexion of STRIKERS
soul to incline him to sidestep trouble
whenever feasible. And, besides, he
entertained dark suspicious of his
guest-suspicions he scarce dared voice
even to his inmost heart.
The morning meal. therefore, passed
of in constrained silence. The captain
ate voraciously and vociferously, push
ed back his chair and went on deck
to relieve the mate. The latter, a
stunted little cockney with wiZened
countenance and a mind as foul as his
tongue. got small change of his at
tempts to engage the passenger in con-
versation on topics that he considered
fit for discussion. After the sixth or
eighth snubbing he rose in dudgeon,
discharged poisonous bit of inso-
lence and retired to his berth, leaving
Kirkwood to finish his breakfast in
peace.
