Of all the Big Wreck Cove youth, he was the only one that she could not put in his place. She did not think it wise to snub him so openly that Orion would take offense. This course might do the captain of the Seamew harm.
In Tunis Latham's mind there was more uncertainty regarding the mysterious Ida May Bostwick than there was in the minds of Cap'n Ira and Prudence. Whenever he considered his "errand of mercy" the captain of the Seamew had a flash of that girl with the violet eyes who worked in the restaurant on Scollay Square. The Balls did not know where Ida May worked.
For Tunis Latham had walked about the fields a long time after she left him, and it was late when he finally entered the big brown house behind the cedars. Aunt Lucretia, who had been expecting him, after she had seen the Seamew heading for the cove that afternoon, was still sitting in the kitchen when her nephew entered.
"I'm not coming with you, cap'n," he said as that ardent mariner passed them rolling a barrel along the deck. "A' right," said the other briefly; "you won't get your money back." In a shamefaced fashion Captain Gething, still holding his daughter's arm, stepped on board the Seamew and shook hands with its master.
She would now, she felt, give life itself for the privilege of being back there and able to refuse the reckless plan of escape the captain of the Seamew had submitted to her. She did not for a breath's length blame Tunis for the misfortune that had overtaken her overtaken them both, indeed. She had accepted his plan with open eyes.
"Trust Cap'n Ira," agreed the young man. "And what other girl could have done what you did, Sheila? Hear what Cap'n John Dunn says? You ought to be a sailor's daughter. I can tell him you are going to be a sailor's wife." "No, no! Oh, Tunis! It can't " "No 'can't' in the dictionary," interrupted the captain of the Seamew.
In one of these boats called by him the Fisolo or Seamew my friend Eustace had started with Antonio, intending to row the whole way to Chioggia, or, if the breeze favoured, to hoist a sail and help himself along. After breakfast, when the crew for my gondola had been assembled, Francesco and I followed with the Signora.
Do you know what this awful girl is saying what she is doing here? And these old fools won't believe me! I never heard of such a thing. Just you tell them who I am, and I guess they'll make her pack up and get out in a hurry." In the doorway stood the captain of the Seamew. The two old people welcomed his appearance with a satisfaction that could not be mistaken.
Indeed, he could scarcely realize even now that she had meant what she said that she could mean it! So brief had been their dream of love only since that recent Sunday when they walked the beaches about the foot of Wreckers' Head that it seemed to the captain of the Seamew it could not be so soon over. If Sheila really and truly loved him, how could anything part them?
Mason Chapin stood at the rail waiting his return, and a taxicab had been summoned. The mate carried a bag. "A telegram from Doctor Norris. My wife's worse, Mr. Latham. I've got to go back just as fast as steam will get me there," was his greeting to the skipper of the Seamew. This was according to the agreement Mason Chapin had made in the beginning.
