On this particular day Mrs. Watson sang because she couldn't help it, for Pearlie was coming home
The theory was beautiful namely, if we kept ourselves soaked in alcohol, every smallpox germ that came into contact with us would immediately be scorched to a cinder. And the theory worked, though I must confess that neither Captain Oudouse nor Ah Choon were attacked by the disease either. The Frenchman did not drink at all, while Ah Choon restricted himself to one drink daily.
The rush of bodies and sea that was coming along the port runway between the cabin and the rail turned abruptly and poured to starboard. Away they went vahine, Ah Choon, and steersman; and I swear I saw Ah Choon grin at me with philosophic resignation as he cleared the rail and went under. The third sea the biggest of the three did not do so much damage.
Ah Choon caught a spoke of the wheel and swung in behind it. But a strapping Rarotonga vahine she must have weighed two hundred and fifty brought up against him and got an arm around his neck. He clutched the Kanaka steersman with his other hand. And just at that moment the schooner flung down to starboard.

Ah Choon and one of the Americans tried to follow me, but I was one jump ahead of them. The American was swept away and over the stern like a piece of chaff. Ah Choon caught a spoke of the wheel, and swung in behind it. He clutched the kanaka steersman with his other hand; and just at that moment the schooner flung down to starboard.
