A child was coming to the pathetic little widow of Cruise, the radio-man. Two messengers had gone down to the landing to wait for the report to be shouted from the afterdeck of the Doraine, Soapy Shay and Buck Chizler, the jockey. Now they were returning, and it was nearing midnight.
Cruise, the chief radio-man, had his assistant routed out of bed and together they worked like beavers over the disabled mechanism. Hour after hour, the nervous, uneasy passengers paced the decks. Few remained indoors, and few possessed the calmness to loll in deck-chairs. Percival toiled cheerfully, but with eye and ear alert for the first inkling of definite peril.
