The Voice Of Authority

was half an hour before we were
finally assured by the captain him
self that the steamer was uninjured
and would not LAX. In that space
Of time the ncI gf US all were thor
oughiy unsetiivU and we went back
to our staterooEls convinced that
gross deception had been worked on
us. We dressed. and by O'Clock we
were all out on deck again, prepared
TO demand explicit answers 10 our
questions.
Captain Myers. unusued to dealing
with a throng of passengers, failed to
satisfy some of us that we knew the
exact truth. He admitted that the
propeller was gone and the engines
disabled. but he made the mistake OF
asserting that everything was ali
right and that il was only a matter
OF time till the steamer would be un-
der way again In short, he allowed
his consciousness Of having to depend
on himself to influence him too far
he refused to recognize what we
thought were our just claims and
threw all the weight of his authority
upon US TO make us keep silence and
accept his unsupported statement as
to our present and ultimate safety.
Had the morning been bright and
clear, or had the accident happened
at some hour in the daytime, 1t is
likely that we would have been in
different temper. But we were pro-
foundly conscious that we had bare
ly missed being drowned in our beds
We attributed our safety to luck, to
Providence, and therefore suspected
Captain Myers of plotting against US.
In short, where as individuals re
wS1i5 have congratulated ourselves,
as a crowd we were sullen and dis
trustful.
Il have a notion that the captain.
inside of twenty-four hours after the
accident. knew how we felt. He had
got some sail on the steamer-all in
fact that she would carry-and it
didn't give her steerageway in the
battling foggX breeze that blew down
from KsInchatka and chilled us. But
he stuck TO his assertion that we were
all right, and, as / view it now, kept
his head eXcellently.
During the next week we passen-
gers got acquainted with each other
in a fashion impossible on a speed
ing liner. Now that we were fully.
assured of the soundness of our yes
sci. seeing that our meals were regu-
lar, our sleep uninterrupted and the
discipline of the crew unrelaXed, we
drew together and made the best Of
it. Really, we were quite contented
that week. True, the fog still eddied
about us and the inefficient sails flap
ped drearily on the slender yards and
the Parthia rolled in the trough of the
easy swell But we were engaged in
finding out who we were.
II recall vividly the gradual emer-
gence OF the Rev. Jonas Hampstead.
L presume that none of us would have
noticed him under ordinary circum-
stances. But we were isolated for
an indefinite period, and we dug into
each others history and possibilities
and characters with unwearied zest.
