CHAPTER’ VI. DISENCHANTMENT AND DESPAIR
While the Bird of Paradise—such Was the alluring name of our gallant brig--was being loaded with a cargo of cashmere shawls, cocoanuts, drugs, glass beads, and other articles of mer- chandise likely to suit the cuftured Mohammedan taste, I was so closely engayed with my own concerns and the urgent hospitality of Sir Thomas’ friend’ that I paid but scant heed to the men with whom I was to sail. I had a vague notion of a picturesque medley of dusky children of the sun who would be likely in the course of the voyage to discourse of many mar-
vellous things and discover traits at once new and interesting. But at sea and within the narrow confines of a
two-miaster, one is impelled to take an active individual interest in his com- panions, and so it came that as soon as the towers and spires of Bombay had sunk out of sight on our weather beam I was eagerly and curiously studying my Surroundings and the characters of Officers and crew.
Never have I been more swiftly or completely disenchanted. Perhaps
and ignorant that I had so gayly cher-
it | Was because I was young and foolish |
ished illusion; perhaps it was the fine |
name of the brig that had given me exalted and gorgeous ideas, but I had
anticipated a holiday sail on sunlit seas in a sort of Cleopatra barge with companions fitly representing, if not the pomp and magnificence, at least the peetry and romance of the Orient. My punishment for indulging such fan- tastic reveries was speedy and condign. The Bird of Paradise bore as much re- semblance to the ship of my imagina- tion as a hedgehog bears to a leopard.
In plain truth, she was an ill-smell- ing, leaky old coal bunker, with a crew of the most desperate-looking villains that ever swung from a yardarm. What their past had been it required little shrewdness to zuess.
A glarice made it clear that what- ever easure, whatever romance there could be fn sailing with the
dregs of Asiatic pirate crews of men, who for reasons to be comprehended by the simplest had found it expedient to lay aside for a little their natural vocation of cutting throats, such pleasure and romance were mine. Naturally I was amazed to find such men on Mr. Matheson’s ship, but the explanation came later. tT had for-
gotten that the Scotch are frugal and did not know how Asia pours her scum upon the sea.
My security, such as it was, lay in
the fact that among themselves there
was not the least evidence of good will. They were sullen, suspicious and incommunicative, and in all their lives had probably never known what it is to smile out of pure good nature of innocent hilarity, for their features were fixed in 2 nernetual scowl which nothing «culd soften. Taward each other, as toward their officers, they had the sulky, defiant demeanour of caged beasts of prey, and no doubt they hed «a sense of imprisonment. Oft duty or on, they indulged in no freecom of jollity of intercourse. No stories vere told: no songs were sing. The spirit was that of a chain gang working at the point of the bayonet or the muizie of the rifle. Misfor- tune, failur’ in hazardous and biocdy
enterprise, had brought trem torether, and as yet they were not able to fraternr ize.
The officers matched the Though Cantain Holden was an lishman, and Mr. Malcolm, the Scctch, there Ww nothing gracious prepossessiny in either of them. The captain was short and bread, square rigged, with a tremendous breadth of beam, as a sailor would say, and his squat, burly frame had in it the muscular strength and enersy
cre . Ene- mate, or
as
ww
of the
ticer. Tis fs.ce, hairy as a Skve ter- rier’s, showed no feature in particular, Fave the huge nose, which, ow- ing to a long course of grog, had assumed the appearance of a purple knob, and bulging eyebrows heat hung over small, de ep-set eyes, as a cliff overhangs a
cavern. His visage was truculent, and his temper and voice were in har- rony. His most caressing tones were the ‘growl of the thunder; his anger was the fury of a fiend. His natural qualities, too, had been Ww ell cultivated. of oaths he poured upon tis men whea anything went amiss was an achievement in profanity to be remembere:ii with a creepy shudder for a lifetime. and the gleam of his eyes and the way in which he fingered his pistols urder the stress of passion showed that he was not of those Ww ho value human life.
As might be expected, his career had been eventful, his experiences start~- ling and varied. He boasted—and I am sure truthfully—that he could show more sword cuts and bullet scars than any other man of his size
then living. “A man with a greater extent of hide might beat me,” he would sometimes say, “but to the
square inch show me him who equals me. By Jupiter, if I was to preach on that kind of tattooing, a week would

later he sent another head foremost into the hold without so much as cast- ing a downward glance to see whether the man were dead or alive, and not a day passed that he did not distin- guish himself by some deed of cruelty or violence.
Such, in brief, were my shipmates, and it will be eaisly understood how quickly and completely my dreams of a holiday voyage vanished.
It enhanced the discomforts of the situation that I fancied myself regard- ed by the captain and mate as an in- terloper-a spy, whose proper place was with the sharks outside. But on that
point I was unwittingly flattering my- self. Neither of them troubled his
head in the least about me, nor even came near me except it were by chance and in the way of duty. To be sure, the captain usually rolled some hoarse greeting when we met in the morning, but he never delayed his ship for con- versation, and never once evinced a desire to know how I was enjoying my- self. Only at meal-times did we come into close contact, and then I was glad to get back to the deck and the dis- infecting air of heaven.
Nor was the mate much more socia- ble. One evening, indeed, he spoke to me of Scotland, but as his talk was of nothing but tavern debaucheries, their accompaniments and results, I did not encourage him. He left me with a feeling of profound contempt, never again making any attempt to draw me into conversation. When we met, his looks declared as plainly as looks could that I was a priggish, puritanical landsman, who was no fit company for a jolly, blasphemous sailor like him- self
Mr. Watson, the supercargo, was the only soul on board who took the small- est interest in me or mith whom I cared to speak. He understood my position, and I think had compassion for me. At any rate, he tolerated my amateur- ish views of seafaring men and things
and sought opportunity to discover topics we could discuss with mutual pleasure. He was fond of talking of
Edinburgh, which he knew well, having attended the High there. We compared notes on our reading, and he was certainly not the worse read man of the two.
_ “This roving, free and easy life, Mr. Kilgour,’ he said one day, “has a ten- deney, as Burns to ‘harden a’ within and petrifvy the feeling,’ but I try to keep a fresh sweet corner in my affections for the thoughts and fancies of choice souls. After all, a good book is their riotous games at ninepins with virtue and character, and to read about a pretty girl better than to go about carousing with an ugly and debauched one. As Sancho Panza says about sleep, ‘God bless the man who invented books.’ ”’
Books, however, were the subjects of our bytalk only. Oftenest our conver-
school

Sation was about India, Arabia, and cur companions.
“Just look at them, Mr. Kilgour,” he Said once. “Aren't they a pretty set? Haven't thev the look of having been korn, »red, trained, educated fer tt Fpecial purpose of wallowing in crime”? Without ocular evidence could you imagine that so much rascality ceuld be condensed within a few skins’

be true, is an artist and w :rentleman but they—they are mere butchers. If justice Were any more than a thing 6f courts and fine talk, there isn’t a man
of them that shouldn't long ago have adorned a gibbet.”’
“And how in the name of wonder do they come to be on Mr. Matheson’s ship ?” I asked. Mr. Watson screwed his face knowingly and winked.
“" Ah, hea! you are,” he ed. ‘How comes the purse to ruie the conscience ? Mr. Matheson was born ayont the Tweed, and knows the value of bawbees. These rinsings ef creation are got cheap because they’re fiyine from tt rffold.”’ ‘Flying from the scaffold ie Mettiey O77 “From experience and the modicum of wit heaven gave me.

gour ?""
“As nature armed me,” I rejoined. “J did not think that it was neces- sary to come on board Mr. Matheson’s ship armed.”
** Necessity’s just as you take it,’”’ he said, significantly. “In this golden clime it might not be necessary to wear clothes, but you do it all the same. A pistol’s not heavy, and sometimes it’s very handy. I always carry one, and this little thing besides,’ and turn- ing up the edge of his waistcoat he revealed the handle of a dagger.
“That’s to prog them who might take a thought of progging me,” he exclaimed. ‘I have found it useful at close quarters more than once. Come this way, Mr. Kilgour.”
He led me to his cabin, which was office and bedroom in one. When we were inside he carefully closed and fastened the door, then getting upon his knees he uniocked a heavy iron box, which notwithstanding its im- mense weight was fixed to the floor with iron rivets.
