“My family’s all gone now. Sure, the famine did it.
I’d starve too, if I stayed there.”
“ Maybe you’ll starve anyhow. We haven’t got food
for the likes of you.”
“The way I feel now, it doesn’t matter much. Do what
you want with me.”
Larsen led the stowaway up from the hold. Mate met
Jacobsen directing men in securing lifelines along the
gunnel from the quarterdeck to fo’c’s’le. Jacobsen saw the
stowaway and, having no time for him, motioned Larsen
to take the man down below and put him in the brig. Mate
did that. He locked him in the cell.O’Connell fell to his
knees retching again,for ship’s pitch and roll caused renewed
distress giving him added sickness.
