The Duch- ess was a small ship, comparatively speaking some 4, 300 tons only and her gear was more easily 152 CAPTAIN AMYAS manipulated than if she had been one of the giants of the Line ; the damage was bad enough as it was, but a further delay in stopping the engines would have led to consequences which none of the men present cared to think about. The fourth Engineer had joined his two superiors as soon as he could get there, but there had been no time to exchange more than a few hurried wor...ds the briefest orders as to water-tight doors, etc. , as soon as the Chief saw that the engines had stopped, and then while one man stayed to shut up the valves, the others made a rush for the shaft tunnel. It did not take a practised eye long to discover what had happened, and by the time that Amyas was out of the saloon, his Chief Engineer was coming up on deck to re- port to him, leaving his subordinates to oppose the rush of water which threatened to flood the tunnel. They met at the door of the engine-room that palpitating section of the ship where her heart seemed to be, and which was as silent now as though it had ceased to beat.
