CHAPTER w.
The Bowbead


Captain Simms appeared again in
the cabin and on deck, bnt he was not
the same man. His Illness seemed to
have robbed him permanently Of what
was left him of the spriag Of man
hood It was as If his juices had been
sucked from his veins and arteries
and tissues. leaving him flabby, ir-
resolute, compared to his former self.
Even as Lund Swallowed Rainey, so
Simms Swallowed Carlson.
Sometimes the girl would come up
on deck In her own waterproofs and
stand against the rail. And presently
Carlson would come from below or
forward and stand to talk with her
until she was tired Of the deck.
They did not seem much like lovers

intimacies that he. though he made

and legs and deposited on the deck OF

commenced to go about upon its for

Lund bent over him, asking him
with note that RaIney for all his
exhaustion, interpreted as one OF real
anxiety;
"How is IT with you, matey2 Did

Rainey managed to shake his head

Peggy simms stood before Rainey,
