Eyes, it's me- said Walsh. who. it Will
be remembered, was the second engineer
to whom Hughie had recently been acting
as deputy. II should have come on duty
at eight bells to relieve Angus. but slept

were brief, but explicit. One contained

disposal of the Orinoco. The other was q
sort OF invoice, or consignment note, re

had apparently been shipped on boarc
