The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Yet the bo'sun assured us that he had no doubts but that she could be made seaworthy, though it would take a greater while than hitherto he had thought needful. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Having concluded his examination of the boat, the bo'sun sent one of the men to bring the bottom-boards out of the tent; for he needed some planking for the repair of the damage. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" About the time that we had finished clearing the weed, the bo'sun came over to us, bringing with him the saw and the hatchet. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" When this was dispatched, and we had rested a little over our pipes, the bo'sun rose and led us back; for he was determined to get through with the topmast before dark. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At this, a matter which I should have known, I reproached myself for so gross a piece of stupidity, and hastened after the bo'sun, who had disappeared over the top of the bank. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Presently, relieving each other frequently, we completed the second cut, and after that the bo'sun set us to saw a block about twelve inches deep from the remaining portion of the topmast. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" By this time the dusk was upon us, and the men, having made an end of weed carrying, were returned to us, and stood about, waiting for the bo'sun to go into camp. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At this moment, the man the bo'sun had sent to gather shellfish, returned, and he had a great crab upon his spear, which he had spitted through the belly. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And with the knowledge, I cried out to the bo'sun to make haste, for there were demons with us in the valley. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At this, the bo'sun raised his voice, and cried out the lad's name. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, I rose up, reproaching myself for having forgotten the poor lad, and followed the bo'sun into the tent. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now the bo'sun led the way, and, finding the marks led direct to the valley, he broke into a run, holding his torch well above his head. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, the bo'sun set up a loud shout to Job, perchance he might be yet alive; but there came no answer to us, save a low and uncomfortable echo. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then the bo'sun, desiring to waste no more time, ran straight down towards the center of the valley, and we followed, and kept our eyes very open about us. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then the bo'sun cried out with an oath, at the strangeness of the thing, and I felt the arm, which I held, shake somewhat, as it might be with a deep emotion. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now whether it had come to the bo'sun to set alight this first of the fungi, I know not; for it may be that his torch coming by chance against it, set it afire. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then, the bo'sun signed to us to fill in the sand; and, therewith, we covered up the poor lad, and left him to his sleep. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now the bo'sun headed one party, and set the big seaman over the other, bidding all to keep their weapons very handy. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Presently, looking about me, I discovered the bo'sun to be surveying that part which looked over towards the weed, and I made across to join him. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" It was at this time that the bo'sun called over to Josh certain advice with regard to that which lay before us. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then the bo'sun laid the unfinished batten along with them, and we lowered the boat again over all, trusting to its weight to prevent any creature from meddling with aught. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" This, the bo'sun, after examining, did not hesitate to pronounce fit for food; whereupon they set-to and opened and cleaned it. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Yet, so soon as we had rested and smoked a while, the bo'sun set the watches; for he would run no risk through carelessness. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now when the bo'sun had made an end, we felt each one of us greatly cheered; for his discourse seemed very reasonable. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so came a time of waiting, with Josh and the bo'sun each of them at the steering oars, and the rest of us stowed away under the coverings. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" But to this the bo'sun replied that our camp hitherto had lain in a place where we had not sight, even of the great world of weed, leaving alone any view of the derelict. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Presently, when we had smoked and rested very comfortably, for the bo'sun was no tyrant, we rose at his bidding to descend once more to the beach. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And after that they turned again to the bo'sun with whom some of them seemed to be in argument. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now, conceiving that this was a good point at which to renew my importunities, I began once again to explain the probabilities of my plan succeeding, addressing myself more particularly to the bo'sun. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Immediately afterwards a cold blast struck us; but we suffered no harm, for the bo'sun had gotten the boat bows-on by this. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Presently, when the morning had come, and we had made an end of breakfast, we turned-to upon the great bow, the bo'sun directing the men under my supervision. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Yet, at last, the bo'sun bade us to stop and make supper, which we did, and after that, he set the watches, and the rest of us turned in; for we were very weary. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so we had all things ready for the discharge; whereupon, I placed my foot upon the trigger, and, bidding the bo'sun watch carefully the flight of the arrow, pushed downwards. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And, presently, having made our supper off a very fine fish, which the two fishermen had caught whilst we talked, the bo'sun set the watches, and the rest turned-in. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Thus we drove on before the wind, the bo'sun steering, and avoiding all such banks as showed ahead, and ever the sea grew calmer. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" But first, before we left the camp, the bo'sun gave us all a very sound tot of the rum, and also a biscuit apiece, and thereafter we hasted down, each man holding his weapon readily. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so, hauling with great steadiness, we brought the monster near to the edge of the hill, and there, at a wave from the bo'sun, stayed our pulling. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Later, we made dinner, and afterwards had a very comfortable smoke, and then the bo'sun attended to our various hurts. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now it was the bo'sun's watch from eight of the evening until midnight, and I, with another man, had the lookout until four bells. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, hoping to obtain it for food, I pointed it out to the bo'sun, suggesting that we should try and capture it. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And I looked about me at the men, both in the boat in which I was and that which the bo'sun commanded; and not one was there but held himself in a posture of listening. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so, in silence, the bo'sun turned his craft toward the creek, whereat we followed, taking heed to keep quietness, and working the oars warily. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" So soon as the bo'sun had made his way up from the boat, he turned aft toward the scuttle, the rest of us following. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so, in a little while, we came upon two casks which the bo'sun broke open with a hatchet. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Yet it mattered not; for the wound inflicted by the bo'sun's weapon was so frightful, that the giant cuttlefish released the boat, and slid back into deep water, churning it into foam, and gouting blood. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now while he had been gone, the bo'sun had set the men to clearing out the main cabin; after which, he had served out two biscuits apiece all round, and a tot of rum. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then, in that quietness, came the bo'sun's voice. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Of that which we had heard, the bo'sun bade me make no mention, for he would not have the men put more in fear than need be. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Now the bo'sun, foreseeing that it might be impossible to come upon water, had set the man whom he had ordained to be our cook, to boiling the creek water in three great kettles. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At a little distance, under the directing of the bo'sun, we made to prepare dinner, for we were now very hungry, it seeming a great while since we had broken our fast. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At first George had tossed these aside; but it growing darker the bo'sun lit one of the candles which we had found in the lazarette. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" George, being thus adjured, picked up the topmost sheet; for they were, as I heard him explain to the bo'sun, all oddly numbered, and having but little reference one to the other. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" George came to a sudden pause; for the bo'sun had risen and put a great hand upon his shoulder. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Yet, for perhaps the space of a minute, none durst open the door, until the bo'sun bid us stand to one side. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" In the meanwhile, and until the return of the men with the fuel, the bo'sun kept us busied in various ways. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Being now armed, we ran to join the bo'sun; for by this he had the door open, and was scanning the main cabin. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" We made a search of the decks and fo'cas'le, but found nothing, and, after that, the bo'sun stationed two of us on guard, whilst the rest went about such duties as were needful. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Therefore, when the bo'sun sent word that we should come aboard, and bring our gear, we made all haste. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" The bo'sun ran towards him, and caught him by the arm, speaking with anger, and commanding him to return with us immediately to the vessel. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" By this time it was getting on towards evening, and the bo'sun went across to look at Job, finding him much as he had been when we visited him after dinner. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" I was about to remark upon this to the bo'sun, when, abruptly, he came to a stand, and bent forward to stare into the shadows to our right. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And at that, the bo'sun cried out suddenly that he knew; though of what it was that he knew I had at that time no knowledge. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Being now rested, I crawled after to where the bo'sun lay, and, the noise of the storm lulling odd instants, shouted in his ear to know whether the wind was easing at whiles. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, the bo'sun stood up and made an examination of it, being much exercised in his mind to know how we might come clear of it with safety. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, the bo'sun asked me to bring across one of the longer of the bottom-boards, which I did, and we made use of it as a stretcher to carry the lad into the tent. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" There we stood, all of us, upon the thwarts, staring and exchanging opinions, and were like to have overset the boat; but that the bo'sun ordered us down. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" Then, my judgment returning to me, I stooped and waked the bo'sun; for it seemed to me that this was a matter for his attention. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At that, the bo'sun seized an oar, and I did likewise, and, so swiftly as we dared, for fear of making any unneedful noise, we pulled the boat to a safer distance. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" I remember shouting out to the bo'sun and to the men to awake, and then the bo'sun had me by the shoulder, was calling in my ear to know what dire thing had come about. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And at that, thinking a host of evil things to be upon us, I cried out to the bo'sun and the men to awake.

The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" At the bo'sun's hail, the lad called out "I, I," and, standing up, gave a sweep with his oar that brought the boat's head round towards the beach. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" I was the third man down; but, being light and fleet of foot, I passed the second man and caught up with the bo'sun just as he came upon the sand. The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" And so we made an end of our search, and after that, the bo'sun set each one of us to work.
