What he could not forgive was his own stupidity in persisting in loving her after she had turned away.

In the relief of getting it in black and white, the nausea abated.
Thirty of the ship's company being sick, they, with me, were compelled to leave the ship, and forced to proceed on shore to the hospital.

So everything that is unpleasant has its compensation.
