The ' off ' watch, restless, cannot sleep, as roam their bunks across the deep. Some, whispering by the foremast, smoke, where wind- ward booms each wild sea-stroke ! Here, on the endless waters hurled, we are half-way across the world ! My mate, yoimg Wells, he 's on watch too, my nose and ears sting, with cold blue. This is no Spanish Main, the breeze comes straight from icy Arctic seas ! We are both nervous, Wells and I ; there on the main- hatch it doth lie. In canvas wrapt, the chief mate'...s length, devoid of light his eyes, his strength 64 THE CHIEF MATE Of limb and soul, and hand-grip warm, all vanished from that silent form ! He jumped at sunset in wild seas to save a sailor ! grasped his knees ! I saw it all : two struggling men together fighting wild seas, when They went beneath the hissing waves. By God ! the seas to-day did rave. The skipper waved his arms and roared, the thundering seas leapt up on board Like hissing fiends to stop the chase of comradeship with flinchless face !
