But to this sick and therefore weak man, comes a Docker purblind with cinturies of Cant, Pricidint, Blood, and Goose Greece; imagines him a fiery pervalid, though the common sense of mankind through its interpreter common language, pronounces him an 'invalid, gashes him with a lancet, spills out the great liquid material of all repair by the gallon, and fells this weak man, wounded now, and pale, and fainting, with Dith stamped on his face, to th' earth, like a bayoneted soldier or a slaughtered ox.
We were so delighted that we gave three cheers, which were not heard aboard the other boats owing to the roar of the surf. However, we soon joined them and were able to exchange experiences on the beach." Our experiences on the 'James Caird' had been similar, although we had not been able to keep up to windward as well as the 'Dudley Docker' had done.
The 'James Caird' was in the lead, where she bore the brunt of the encounter with lurking fragments, and she was holed above the water-line by a sharp spur of ice, but this mishap did not stay us. Later the wind became stronger and we had to reef sails, so as not to strike the ice too heavily. The 'Dudley Docker' came next to the 'James Caird' and the 'Stancomb Wills' followed.
While the painter of the 'Stancomb Wills' tightened and drooped under my hand, my thoughts were busy with plans for the future. Towards midnight the wind shifted to the south-west, and this change enabled us to bear up closer to the island. A little later the 'Dudley Docker' ran down to the 'James Caird', and Worsley shouted a suggestion that he should go ahead and search for a landing-place.

You only have to be firm and you can get what's fair and right." A man rose up in the hall. "Is it true," he asked, "that Boulding's won't pay the advance? that they are going to close the doors to-morrow if we insist upon it?" "It is true," Mr. Docker answered. "Are you afraid of that?" The man hesitated.
He may grumble; he may drop a motor, or a yacht, but in his ordinary daily life he feels no change. To a docker making twenty shillings a week the difference of two shillings is not merely important, it is vital.
The 'Dudley Docker' was pulling with three oars, as the 'Stancomb Wills' had the odd one, and she fell away to leeward in a particularly heavy squall. I anxiously watched her battling up against wind and sea. It would have been useless to take the 'James Caird' back to the assistance of the 'Dudley Docker' since we were hard pressed to make any progress ourselves in the heavier boat.
"I ain't got twenty pounds," ses Sam. "'Ow much 'ave you got?" ses his pal. Sam felt in 'is pockets, and the docker came up and stood watching while he counted it. Altogether it was nine pounds fourteen shillings and tuppence. "P'r'aps you've got some more at 'ome," ses his pal. "Not a farthing," ses Sam, which was true as far as the farthing went.
