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.

'X came up the companion, he says, 'soon after you went down. He held on by the runner, and stared to windward at Rottum, as though he knew the place quite well. 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." Well, we came to the bar of the Schild, and had to turn south for that twisty bit of beating between Rottum and Bosch Flat. He must have slipped over quietly ... He had an ulster and big boots on. We cruised about for a time, but never found him.

'What date was this? I asked. 'About the ninth of this month. 'Why, that's only a fortnight before you wired to me!

No, thought Davies; it was too near Germany, and there was a tidal cut through from Buse Tief. Better to dodge in behind Rottum Island. So on we pressed, past Memmert, over the Juister Reef and the Corinne's buried millions, across the two broad and yeasty mouths of the Ems, till Rottum, a wee lonesome wafer of an islet, the first of the Dutch archipelago, was close on the weather-bow.
