A book, his own book, slipped from his knees, and I saw the frontispiece lying on the floor in a pool of oil; for the stove had gone adrift, and the saloon was in a wretched state of squalor and litter. 'Off Rottum, I said, and knelt up to find the chart.

And then he came towards us, moving so unsteadily that I gave Clara the tiller, and went to help him. I tried to make him go down again, but he wouldn't, and came aft. "'Give me the helm," he said, half to himself.
"Sea's too bad outside there's a short cut here." "'Thanks," I said, "I know this one."
