The rain was coming, and against that tropical squall shelter was necessary. The two men ran down the beach and returned dragging the ponderous section of the wheelhouse. They leaned the frame against two trunks at the same instant that the first big drops of rain rattled against it.
You notice that the Dartonia has thrown out her anchor. She is evidently going to wait where she is until the fog clears away entirely." So with that we two went forward to see what was being done. The captain stood on the bridge and beside him the pilot, but the fog was now so thick we could hardly see them, although we stood close by, on the piece of deck in front of the wheelhouse.
He had found his captain. They tumbled over and over, tightening their hug. Suddenly the water let them down with a brutal bang; and, stranded against the side of the wheelhouse, out of breath and bruised, they were left to stagger up in the wind and hold on where they could. Jukes came out of it rather horrified, as though he had escaped some unparalleled outrage directed at his feelings.
Sholto MacKim was at the fords waiting the chance of crossing and the pleasure of the surly keeper of the bridge, Elson A'Cormack, who sat in his wheelhouse, grunting curses on all who passed that way. "Foul feet, slow bellies, fushionless and slack ye are to run my lord's errands!
Leaping from the wheelhouse to the deck he ran backward and forward shrieking at the top of his lungs begging and entreating someone to save him, and offering fabulous rewards to the man who carried him safely to the shore.

There stood McTee leaning against the wheelhouse and staring straight ahead across the bows. He seemed quite oblivious of his presence until, having finished his job, Harrigan started back down the steps. "D'you call this clean?" rumbled McTee. "All over again!" And Harrigan dropped to his knees without protest and commenced scrubbing again.
"Not for a thousand dollars a minute," I answered, a trumpet peal of indomitable happiness ringing in my heart. From the wheelhouse Blythe shouted a warning to be careful. His voice scarcely reached us through the singing of the wind. I nodded and took hold of the little hand that lay close to mine.
"And Old Betsy here, she'll throw a slug clean through that wheelhouse wall, captain, in case you should get impatient and try to run by." The captain looked inquiringly at the scarred man, who nodded sullenly. "All right." "We'll be hitting back into the swamp," said the scarred one. "Come on, Pedro." "No, you'll stay until we get to the high banks." "What fer?"
