"
A
modern
hero
.
"
"
And
a
greater
because
modern
,
"
she
added
.
"
How
can
the
Old
World
heroes
compare
with
ours
?
"
I
shook
my
head
.
We
were
too
much
alike
in
many
things
for
argument
.
Our
points
of
view
and
outlook
on
life
at
least
were
very
alike
.

"
For
a
pair
of
critics
we
agree
famously
,
"
I
laughed
.
"
And
as
shipwright
and
able
assistant
,
"
she
laughed
back
.
But
there
was
little
time
for
laughter
in
those
days
,
what
of
our
heavy
work
and
of
the
awfulness
of
Wolf
Larsen
's
living
death
.
He
had
received
another
stroke
.
He
had
lost
his
voice
,
or
he
was
losing
it
.
He
had
only
intermittent
use
of
it
.
As
he
phrased
it
,
the
wires
were
like
the
stock
market
,
now
up
,
now
down
.
Occasionally
the
wires
were
up
and
he
spoke
as
well
as
ever
,
though
slowly
and
heavily
.
Then
speech
would
suddenly
desert
him
,
in
the
middle
of
a
sentence
perhaps
,
and
for
hours
,
sometimes
,
we
would
wait
for
the
connection
to
be
re-established
.
He
complained
of
great
pain
in
his
head
,
and
it
was
during
this
period
that
he
arranged
a
system
of
communication
against
the
time
when
speech
should
leave
him
altogether
--
one
pressure
of
the
hand
for
"
yes
,
"
two
for
"
no
.
"
It
was
well
that
it
was
arranged
,
for
by
evening
his
voice
had
gone
from
him
.

By
hand
pressures
,
after
that
,
he
answered
our
questions
,
and
when
he
wished
to
speak
he
scrawled
his
thoughts
with
his
left
hand
,
quite
legibly
,
on
a
sheet
of
paper
.
The
fierce
winter
had
now
descended
upon
us
.
Gale
followed
gale
,
with
snow
and
sleet
and
rain
.
The
seals
had
started
on
their
great
southern
migration
,
and
the
rookery
was
practically
deserted
.
I
worked
feverishly
.
In
spite
of
the
bad
weather
,
and
of
the
wind
which
especially
hindered
me
,
I
was
on
deck
from
daylight
till
dark
and
making
substantial
progress
.
I
profited
by
my
lesson
learned
through
raising
the
shears
and
then
climbing
them
to
attach
the
guys
.
To
the
top
of
the
foremast
,
which
was
just
lifted
conveniently
from
the
deck
,
I
attached
the
rigging
,
stays
and
throat
and
peak
halyards
.
As
usual
,
I
had
underrated
the
amount
of
work
involved
in
this
portion
of
the
task
,
and
two
long
days
were
necessary
to
complete
it
.
And
there
was
so
much
yet
to
be
done
--
the
sails
,
for
instance
,
which
practically
had
to
be
made
over
.
