Jukes cried distressfully; and the other repeated, "What would my old woman say if she saw me now?" In the alleyway, where a lot of water had got in and splashed in the dark, the men were still as death, till Jukes stumbled against one of them and cursed him savagely for being in the way. Two or three voices then asked, eager and weak, "Any chance for us, sir?"
"Didn't you, Mr Bickers? I'm going to see all the events. They have just run the first race, and Bateson and Jukes have both beaten the boy in your house who won last week. Haven't you a programme? Mr Railsford will give you one." "Thank you. I'm not staying long. It will be rather dull for you, will it not?" "Dull!" said Miss Phyllis, laughing. "I don't think it dull, thank you."
"I wonder where that beastly swell comes from," said Jukes aloud, recovering himself after a stagger. "North-east," grunted the literal MacWhirr, from his side of the bridge. "There's some dirty weather knocking about. Go and look at the glass." When Jukes came out of the chart-room, the cast of his countenance had changed to thoughtfulness and concern.
Bad enough to be shut up below in a gale " "That's what I thought when you gave me the job, sir," interjected Jukes, moodily. " without being battered to pieces," pursued Captain MacWhirr with rising vehemence. "Couldn't let that go on in my ship, if I knew she hadn't five minutes to live. Couldn't bear it, Mr. Jukes."

Captain MacWhirr, after glaring down irresolutely at his chief mate, disclosed the gloomy and cynical conviction that more than half of them had been lost overboard, "if only the truth was known," and retired to the other end of the bridge. Jukes, exasperated by this unprovoked attack, broke the needle at the second stitch, and dropping his work got up and cursed the heat in a violent undertone.
"You poor dear man!" went on Mrs. Jane Jukes Jopp. "What practical joker ever lured you into appearing in public in knickerbockers?" "I don't object to the knickerbockers," said Mrs. Agnes Parsons Jopp, "but when he foolishly comes out in quite a strong east wind without his liver-pad " "Little Tinky-Ting don't need no liver-pad, he don't," said Mrs.
Jukes reflected rapidly that this second mate was a mean little beast, and in his heart he wished poor Jack Allen had never smashed himself up in the coal-lighter.
