First, they had replaced the light rail on her gunwale, by heavy solid bulwarks four feet high, surmounted by hammock nettings, at least another foot, so that the symmetrical little vessel, that formerly floated on the foam light as a seagull, now looked like a clumsy dish shaped Dutch dogger.
Squire's writing as a poet at odds with himself, a poet who floats above the obscene and dull realities of every day, "like a draggled seagull over dreary flats of mud." He has already escaped into bluer levels in the poem, On a friend Recently Dead, written in the same or the following year. Here he ceases to be a poet floating and bumping against a ceiling.
Why, I seed yer shadow come right over me with yer hands up holding the lump o' paper, and afore I could straighten myself up down it come, and went right through the bottom." "You don't mean to tell me that there's a hole right through the bottom of my beautiful Seagull?" cried Aleck, wildly. "Why, how could she have got full o' water if you hadn't chucked that down?

I took great pains with the whole, and made considerable portions new, only your favourites were not touched not a word touched, I think, in the 'Seagull, and scarcely a word in the 'Doves. You won't complain of me a great deal, I do hope and trust.
Hearing that we were on the look-out for his craft, the Seagull, he shifted his cargo into her. "`Then we were cleverly done! exclaimed our commander, stamping his foot with vexation. `The very fellow old Futlock thought looked so honest that he would not take the trouble to board him. It is the very last time in my life that I will trust to outside appearances.

Not wishing to see or meet anyone, Chekhov kept out of sight after the performance, and by next morning was in the train on his way back to Melihovo. The subsequent performances of "The Seagull," when the actors understood it, were successful. Chekhov had collected a large number of books, and in 1896 he resolved to present them to the public library in his native town of Taganrog.
