The
ship
is
making
her
course
?
"
"
She
is
,
Tuan
.
Very
straight
.
"
"
It
is
well
;
and
remember
,
Serang
,
that
the
order
is
that
you
are
to
mind
the
helmsmen
and
keep
a
lookout
with
care
,
the
same
as
if
I
were
not
on
deck
.
"
Then
,
when
the
Serang
had
made
his
answer
,
the
low
tones
on
the
bridge
would
cease
,
and
everything
round
Sterne
seemed
to
become
more
still
and
more
profoundly
silent
.
Slightly
chilled
and
with
his
back
aching
a
little
from
long
immobility
,
he
would
steal
away
to
his
room
on
the
port
side
of
the
deck
.
He
had
long
since
parted
with
the
last
vestige
of
incredulity
;
of
the
original
emotions
,
set
into
a
tumult
by
the
discovery
,
some
trace
of
the
first
awe
alone
remained
.
Not
the
awe
of
the
man
himself
--
he
could
blow
him
up
sky-high
with
six
words
--
rather
it
was
an
awestruck
indignation
at
the
reckless
perversity
of
avarice
(
what
else
could
it
be
?
)
,
at
the
mad
and
somber
resolution
that
for
the
sake
of
a
few
dollars
more
seemed
to
set
at
naught
the
common
rule
of
conscience
and
pretended
to
struggle
against
the
very
decree
of
Providence
.
You
could
not
find
another
man
like
this
one
in
the
whole
round
world
--
thank
God
.
There
was
something
devilishly
dauntless
in
the
character
of
such
a
deception
which
made
you
pause
.
Other
considerations
occurring
to
his
prudence
had
kept
him
tongue-tied
from
day
to
day
.
It
seemed
to
him
now
that
it
would
yet
have
been
easier
to
speak
out
in
the
first
hour
of
discovery
.
He
almost
regretted
not
having
made
a
row
at
once
.
But
then
the
very
monstrosity
of
the
disclosure
...
Why
!
He
could
hardly
face
it
himself
,
let
alone
pointing
it
out
to
somebody
else
.
Moreover
,
with
a
desperado
of
that
sort
one
never
knew
.
The
object
was
not
to
get
him
out
(
that
was
as
well
as
done
already
)
,
but
to
step
into
his
place
.
Bizarre
as
the
thought
seemed
he
might
have
shown
fight
.
A
fellow
up
to
working
such
a
fraud
would
have
enough
cheek
for
anything
;
a
fellow
that
,
as
it
were
,
stood
up
against
God
Almighty
Himself
.
He
was
a
horrid
marvel
--
that
's
what
he
was
:
he
was
perfectly
capable
of
brazening
out
the
affair
scandalously
till
he
got
him
(
Sterne
)
kicked
out
of
the
ship
and
everlastingly
damaged
his
prospects
in
this
part
of
the
East
.
Yet
if
you
want
to
get
on
something
must
be
risked
.
At
times
Sterne
thought
he
had
been
unduly
timid
of
taking
action
in
the
past
;
and
what
was
worse
,
it
had
come
to
this
,
that
in
the
present
he
did
not
seem
to
know
what
action
to
take
.
Massy
's
savage
moroseness
was
too
disconcerting
.
It
was
an
incalculable
factor
of
the
situation
.
You
could
not
tell
what
there
was
behind
that
insulting
ferocity
.
How
could
one
trust
such
a
temper
;
it
did
not
put
Sterne
in
bodily
fear
for
himself
,
but
it
frightened
him
exceedingly
as
to
his
prospects
.
Though
of
course
inclined
to
credit
himself
with
exceptional
powers
of
observation
,
he
had
by
now
lived
too
long
with
his
discovery
.
He
had
gone
on
looking
at
nothing
else
,
till
at
last
one
day
it
occurred
to
him
that
the
thing
was
so
obvious
that
no
one
could
miss
seeing
it
.
There
were
four
white
men
in
all
on
board
the
Sofala
.
Jack
,
the
second
engineer
,
was
too
dull
to
notice
anything
that
took
place
out
of
his
engine-room
.
Remained
Massy
--
the
owner
--
the
interested
person
--
nearly
going
mad
with
worry
.
Sterne
had
heard
and
seen
more
than
enough
on
board
to
know
what
ailed
him
;
but
his
exasperation
seemed
to
make
him
deaf
to
cautious
overtures
.
If
he
had
only
known
it
,
there
was
the
very
thing
he
wanted
.
