I have been watching some time now, ever since the death of Marinkovich; and I am certain that Mr. Pike never ventures on the main deck after dark. Yet he holds his tongue, confides in no man, and plays out the bitter perilous game as a commonplace matter of course and all in the day's work. And now to the episode.
And while we prepare to battle around the stormiest headland in the world our situation on board grows darker. This morning Petro Marinkovich, a sailor in Mr. Mellaire's watch, was found dead on Number One hatch. The body bore several knife-wounds and the throat was cut. It was palpably done by some one or several of the forecastle hands; but not a word can be elicited.
"You die, I win, you dead; no pay me." Still grinning and shaking his head, he went his way. "Just the same, sir, it'll be rich testimony," David chuckled. "An' can't you see the reporters eatin' it up?" The Asiatic clique in the cook's room has its suspicions about the death of Marinkovich, but will not voice them.
First, was Christian Jespersen, killed by O'Sullivan when that maniac aspired to throw overboard Andy Fay's sea-boots; then O'Sullivan, because he interfered with Charles Davis' sleep, brained by that worthy with a steel marlin-spike; next Petro Marinkovich, just ere we began the passage of the Horn, murdered undoubtedly by the gangster clique, his life cut out of him with knives, his carcass left lying on deck to be found by us and be buried by us; and the Samurai, Captain West, a sudden though not a violent death, albeit occurring in the midst of all elemental violence as Mr.
An' if it ain't the devil it's the ghost of a drownded man. I see 'm plain an' clear. He's a man, or was a man once " "They was two of 'em, sir," Richard Giller, one of the "bricklayers," broke in. "I think he looked like Petro Marinkovich, sir," Tom Spink went on. "An' the other was Jespersen I seen 'm," Giller added. "They was three of 'em, sir," said Nosey Murphy.
