When weeks, then months rolled

He leaned over the after bridge

He glimpsed the mate who stood
staring aft.

anger and sstoniShment ringing
in his voice. Look what he

The mate pointed at paunchy

he extracted a she'll from his gun
Puzzled, Captain Brown stared
first at Barrett Montrose, the
freighter's lone passenger, thence
aft where Wong Pu, the ships tall

steward. stopped TO puck up a
mass of futtering feathers.

the mate, uncaring that Mont

with a patronizing smile, then

thoughtfully, more TO himself
than to Wong, "some OF your

Wong Pu flashed a slow smile

arm on which the gull rested, then
turned to watch it take wing and
soar off over the blue ocean.
