The night was fine and there was a splendid moon. Away aft, I heard the timekeeper strike four bells, and the look-out, an old fellow named Jaskett, answered him. As he let go the bell lanyard, he caught sight of me, where I sat quietly, smoking. He leant over the rail, and looked down at me. "That you, Jessop?" he asked. "I believe it is," I replied.
Out on the yard-arm, Jaskett began to shout for help, and then, all at once, in the light from the Second Mate's lantern, I saw that the starboard foot-rope on the upper topsail yard was being violently shaken savagely shaken, is perhaps a better word. And then, almost in the same instant, the Second Mate shifted the lantern from his right to his left hand.
After him followed three of the Mate's crowd, and then old Jaskett. "That will do; that will do," said the Old Man. He turned to the Second Mate. "Has Mr. Grainge come with those lights yet?" he asked, with a certain irritability. "Here, Sir," said the First Mate's voice, behind him in the Saloon doorway.
