"How do you know his name is William John?" asked Davis. "Saw it on a packing-case," said Huish. "Got that?" "No," said Davis. "But there's another thing. What are we to write?" "O my golly!" cried the exasperated Huish. "Wot kind of man do you call yourself? I'm goin' to tell you wot to write; that's my pitch; if you'll just be so bloomin' condescendin' as to write it down!
'I don't see the good of any such tomfoolery, said the other. 'I do, though, returned Huish. 'Gimme your 'and and say the words; then you'll 'ear my view of it. Don't, and you won't. The captain went through the required form, breathing short, and gazing on the clerk with anguish. What to fear, he knew not; yet he feared slavishly what was to fall from the pale lips.
My idea is that Samoa would be found an eligible business centre. It's dead before the wind; the States have a consul there, and 'Frisco steamers call, so's we could skip right back and interview the merchant. 'Samoa? said Herrick.

With trembling hands he seized hold of the man whom he had come to slay; and his voice broke from him like that of a child among the nightmares of fever: "O! isn't there no mercy? O! what must I do to be saved?"
It was perhaps lucky for Huish it was surely in the end unfortunate for all that he was seized just then by one of his prostrating accesses of cough; his comrades would have else deserted him, so bitter was their resentment. When the fit had passed, the clerk reached out his hand, picked up the letter, which had fallen to the earth, and tore it into fragments, stamp and all.
It was a pity he had asked, but after all!... he saw the boys again in the school procession, with the gowns he had thought to be so 'tony' long since... And at the same time the incomparable shame of the last evening blazed up in his mind. 'Have it your own way! he said hoarsely. 'Oh, I knew you would walk up, said Huish. 'Now for the letter. There's paper, pens and ink.
'If I get within twenty foot of 'im it'll be done; so you look out, said Huish, and his tone of certainty was absolute. 'How can you know that? broke from the captain in a choked cry. 'You beast, I believe you've done it before! 'Oh, that's private affyres, returned Huish, 'I ain't a talking man.
"Do you mean there shall be no more drinking?" asked Herrick, "neither by you nor Huish? that you won't go on stealing my profits and drinking my champagne that I gave my honour for? and that you'll attend to your duties, and stand watch and watch, and bear your proper share of the ship's work, instead of leaving it all on the shoulders of a landsman, and making yourself the butt and scoff of native seamen?
"Mother wrote to her last week," said Harry; "you know she told father if ever he gave up the cab work she would like to know. I wonder what she says; run in and see, Dolly."
