But
at
this
juncture
,
Mugridge
,
who
had
lifted
his
head
and
ascertained
the
extent
of
his
loss
,
floundered
over
on
the
deck
and
buried
his
teeth
in
Wolf
Larsen
's
leg
.
Wolf
Larsen
stooped
,
coolly
,
to
the
Cockney
,
and
pressed
with
thumb
and
finger
at
the
rear
of
the
jaws
and
below
the
ears
.
The
jaws
opened
with
reluctance
,
and
Wolf
Larsen
stepped
free
.
"
As
I
was
saying
,
"
he
went
on
,
as
though
nothing
unwonted
had
happened
,
"
the
shark
was
not
in
the
reckoning
.
It
was
--
ahem
--
shall
we
say
Providence
?

She
gave
no
sign
that
she
had
heard
,
though
the
expression
of
her
eyes
changed
to
one
of
inexpressible
loathing
as
she
started
to
turn
away
.
She
no
more
than
started
,
for
she
swayed
and
tottered
,
and
reached
her
hand
weakly
out
to
mine
.
I
caught
her
in
time
to
save
her
from
falling
,
and
helped
her
to
a
seat
on
the
cabin
.
I
thought
she
might
faint
outright
,
but
she
controlled
herself
.
"
Will
you
get
a
tourniquet
,
Mr.
Van
Weyden
,
"
Wolf
Larsen
called
to
me
.
I
hesitated
.
Her
lips
moved
,
and
though
they
formed
no
words
,
she
commanded
me
with
her
eyes
,
plainly
as
speech
,
to
go
to
the
help
of
the
unfortunate
man
.
"
Please
,
"
she
managed
to
whisper
,
and
I
could
but
obey
.
By
now
I
had
developed
such
skill
at
surgery
that
Wolf
Larsen
,
with
a
few
words
of
advice
,
left
me
to
my
task
with
a
couple
of
sailors
for
assistants
.
For
his
task
he
elected
a
vengeance
on
the
shark
.
A
heavy
swivel-hook
,
baited
with
fat
salt-pork
,
was
dropped
overside
;
and
by
the
time
I
had
compressed
the
severed
veins
and
arteries
,
the
sailors
were
singing
and
heaving
in
the
offending
monster
.
I
did
not
see
it
myself
,
but
my
assistants
,
first
one
and
then
the
other
,
deserted
me
for
a
few
moments
to
run
amidships
and
look
at
what
was
going
on
.
The
shark
,
a
sixteen-footer
,
was
hoisted
up
against
the
main-rigging
.
Its
jaws
were
pried
apart
to
their
greatest
extension
,
and
a
stout
stake
,
sharpened
at
both
ends
,
was
so
inserted
that
when
the
pries
were
removed
the
spread
jaws
were
fixed
upon
it
.
This
accomplished
,
the
hook
was
cut
out

The
shark
dropped
back
into
the
sea
,
helpless
,
yet
with
its
full
strength
,
doomed
--
to
lingering
starvation
--
a
living
death
less
meet
for
it
than
for
the
man
who
devised
the
punishment
.
I
knew
what
it
was
as
she
came
toward
me
.
For
ten
minutes
I
had
watched
her
talking
earnestly
with
the
engineer
,
and
now
,
with
a
sign
for
silence
,
I
drew
her
out
of
earshot
of
the
helmsman
.
Her
face
was
white
and
set
;
her
large
eyes
,
larger
than
usual
what
of
the
purpose
in
them
,
looked
penetratingly
into
mine
.
I
felt
rather
timid
and
apprehensive
,
for
she
had
come
to
search
Humphrey
Van
Weyden
's
soul
,
and
Humphrey
Van
Weyden
had
nothing
of
which
to
be
particularly
proud
since
his
advent
on
the
Ghost
.
We
walked
to
the
break
of
the
poop
,
where
she
turned
and
faced
me
.
I
glanced
around
to
see
that
no
one
was
within
hearing
distance
.
