"Well, boy, 'eard anything about my Gabby?" he mumbled, as he struck matches, never looking behind him, since he thought that Hillary had returned alone. Then, getting no reply, he turned round and looked straight into Samuel Bilbao's eyes. He stared at the giant sailorman for quite ten seconds, as though a vision had suddenly come before him. Then he said : "You!" Bilbao stared also for ten seconds, then roared out : ' ' By thunder, it 's you ! ' ' "Who?" echoed Hillary's lips, as he surveyed ...the two men and wondered what next was going to happen. The two men, Bilbao and old Everard, had gripped hands! It appeared that Samuel Bilbao had sailed as boat- swain under Everard when he had been chief mate of a full-rigged ship in the Australian clipper line, about eleven years before. Hillary almost cursed that sudden recognition as the two men rambled on, and Bilbao shook his fist, bent himself double with glee and took monstrous nips of rum and whisky as he discussed everything, of the past and future, but the vital matter in hand.
