Strings of torn canvas, cordage, bits of splin tered stanchions, boards and moldings were strewn about, and all over the hurricane deck lay gleaming crumbs of broken glass from panes that had been knocked from the stateroom windows and had been ground under the heels of the workers. Nearly every man aboard had been turned into a wood-grubber or wood-passer, and once I saw the Captain himself with a big painted board in his chute. arms, walking toward the But for the most part he seemed to be stamp ing the deck and roaring down through the pipe, steam! More steam! Can t you more steam ? " More crowd on a little I grieve to say that his commands were interspersed with a great many imprecations that I am loath to re cord.
