Let the great gods,
That keep this dreadful pother o'er our heads,
That hast within thee undivulged crimes
That art incestuous! Caitiff, to pieces shake,
Hast practised on man's life!—Lear.
At one o'clock at night, in the midst of the Atlantic, a hundred leagues west of the Azores, the bark Swallow, freighted with salt cod8 for the Levant, was scudding9 furiously, under a close-reefed foresail, before a fierce gale10. On board were her captain, two mates, seven men, a black steward11, a cabin boy, and Mr. John White, a passenger.
The captain and his mates were all on deck. John White, otherwise Horace Vinal, occupied a kind of store room, opening out of the cabin. Here a temporary berth12 had been nailed up for him, while on the opposite side were stowed a trunk belonging to him, and three barrels of onions belonging to the vessel13's owners, all well lashed14 in their places.
The dead lights were in, but the seas, striking like mallets against the stern, pierced in fine mist through invisible crevices15, bedrizzling every thing with salt dew. The lantern, hanging from the cabin roof, swung angrily with the reckless plungings of the vessel.
Vinal was a good sailor; that is to say, he was not very liable to that ocean scourge16, seasickness17, and the few qualms18 he had suffered were by this time effectually frightened out of him. As darkness closed, he had lain down in his clothes; and flung from side to side till his bones ached with the incessant19 rolling of the bark, he listened sleeplessly20 to the hideous21 booming of the storm. Suddenly there came a roar so appalling23, that he leaped out of his berth with terror. It seemed to him as if a Niagara had broken above the vessel, and was crushing her down to the nethermost24 abyss. The rush of waters died away. Then came the bellow26 of the speaking trumpet27, the trampling28 of feet, the shouts of men, the hoarse29 fluttering of canvas. In a few moments he felt a change in the vessel's motion. She no longer rocked with a constant reel from side to side, but seemed flung about at random30, hither and thither31, at the mercy of the storm.
She had been, in fact, within a hair's breadth of foundering32. A huge wave, chasing on her wake, swelling33 huger and huger, towering higher and higher, had curled, at last, its black crest34 above her stern, and, breaking, fallen on her in a deluge35. The captain, a Barnstable man of the go-ahead stamp, was brought at last to furl his foresail and lie to.
Vinal, restless with his fear, climbed the narrow stairway which led up to the deck, and pushed open the door at the top; but a blast of wind and salt spray clapped it in his face, and would have knocked him to the foot of the steps, if he had not clung to the handrail. He groped his way as he could back to his berth. Here he lay for a quarter of an hour, when the captain came down, enveloped36 in oilcloths, and dripping like a Newfoundland dog just out of the water. Vinal emerged from his den22, and presenting himself with his haggard face, and hair bristling38 in disorder39, questioned the bedrenched commander touching40 the state of things on deck. But the latter was in a crusty and savage41 mood.
"Hey! what is it?"—surveying the apparition42 by the light of the swinging lantern,—"well, you be a beauty, I'll be damned if you ain't."
"I did not ask you how I looked; I asked you about the weather."
"Well, it ain't the sweetest night I ever see; but I guess you won't drown this time."
"My friend," said Vinal, "learn to mend your way of speaking, and use a civil tongue."
The captain stared at him, muttered an oath or two, and then turned away.
Day broke, and Vinal went on deck. It was a wild dawning. The storm was at its height. One rag of a topsail was set to steady the vessel; all the rest was bare poles and black dripping cordage, through which the gale yelled like a forest in a tornado43. The sky was dull gray; the ocean was dull gray. There was no horizon. The vessel struggled among tossing mountains, while tons of water washed her decks, and the men, half drowned, clung to the rigging. Vast misshapen ridges44 of water bore down from the windward, breaking into foam45 along their crests46, struck the vessel with a sullen47 shock, burst over her bulwarks48, deluged50 her from stem to stern, heaved her aloft as they rolled on, and then left her to sink again into the deep trough of the sea.
Vinal was in great fear; but nothing in his look betrayed it. He soon went below to escape the drenching51 seas; but towards noon, Hansen, the second mate, a good-natured old sea dog, came down with the welcome news that the gale had suddenly abated52. Vinal went on deck again, and saw a singular spectacle. The wind had strangely lulled54; but the waves were huge and furious as ever; and the bark rose and pitched, and was flung to and fro with great violence, but in a silence almost perfect. Water, in great quantities, still washed the deck, but found ready escape through a large port in the after part of the vessel, the lid of which, hanging vertically55, had been left unfastened.
The lull53 was of short space. A hoarse, low sound began to growl56 in the distance like muffled57 thunder. It grew louder,—nearer,—and the gale was on them again. This time it blew from the north-west, and less fiercely than before. The venturous captain made sail. The yards were braced58 round; and leaning from the wind till her lee gunwale scooped59 the water, the vessel plunged60 on her way like a racehorse. The clouds were rent; blue sky appeared. Strong winds tore them apart, and the sun blazed out over the watery61 convulsion, changing its blackness to a rich blue, almost as dark, where the whirling streaks62 of foam seemed like snow wreaths on the mountains. Jets of foam, too, spouted63 from under the vessel's bows, as she dashed them against the opposing seas; and the prickling spray flew as high as the main top. The ocean was like a viking in his robust64 carousals,—terror and mirth, laughter and fierceness, all in one.
But the mind of Vinal was blackness and unmixed gall65. His game was played and lost. The worst that he feared had befallen him. Suspense66 was over, and he was freed from the incubus67 that had ridden him so long. A something like relief mixed itself with his bitter and vindictive68 musings. He had not fled empty handed. He and Morton's friend Sharpe had been joint69 trustees of a large estate, a part of which, in a form that made it readily available, happened to be in Vinal's hands at the time of his crisis. Dread1 of his quick-sighted and vigilant70 colleague had hitherto prevented him from applying it to his own uses. But this fear had now lost its force. He took it with him on his flight, and converted it into money in New York, where he had embarked71.
At night the descent of Hansen to supper was a welcome diversion to his lonely thoughts. The old sailor seated himself at the table:—
"I've lost all my appetite, and got a horse's. Here, steward, you nigger, where be yer? Fetch along that beefsteak. What do you call this here? Well, never mind what you call it, here goes into it, any how."
A silent and destructive onslaught upon the dish before him followed. Then, laying down his knife and fork for a moment,—
"I've knowed the time when I could have ate up the doctor there,"—pointing to the steward,—"bones and all, and couldn't get a mouthful, no way you could fix it." Then, resuming his labors72, "Tell you what, squire73, this here agrees with me. Come out of that berth now, and sit down here alongside o' me. Just walk into that beefsteak, like I do. That 'ere beats physicking all holler."
Thus discoursing74, partly to himself and partly to Vinal, and, by turns, berating75 the grinning steward in a jocular strain, Mr. Hansen continued his repast. When, at last, he left the cabin, Vinal found the solitude76 too dreary77 for endurance; and, to break its monotony, he also went on deck.
The vessel still scoured78 wildly along; and as she plunged through the angry seas, so the moon was sailing among stormy clouds, now eclipsed and lost, now shining brightly out, silvering the seething79 foam, and casting the shadows of spars and rigging on the glistening80 deck. Vinal bent81 over the bulwark49 and looked down on the bubbles, as they fled past, flashing in the moon.
His thoughts flew backward with them, and dwelt on the hated home from which he was escaping.
"What an outcry! what gapes82 of wonder, and eyes turned up to heaven! Gulled83, befooled, hoodwinked! and now, at last, you have found it out, and make earth and heaven ring with your virtuous84 spite. I knew you all, and played you as I would play the pieces on a chess board. The game was a good one in the main, but with some blunders, and for those I pay the price. If I had had that villain's brute85 strength, and the brute nerve that goes with it, there would have been a different story to tell. Before this, I would have found a way to grind him to the earth, and set my foot on his neck. They think him virtuous. He thinks himself so. The shallow-witted idiots! Their eyes can only see skin-deep. They love to be cheated. They swallow fallacies as a child swallows sweetmeats. The tinsel dazzles them, and they take it for gold. Virtue! a delusion86 of self-interest—self-interest, the spring, lever, and fulcrum87 of the world. It is for my interest, for every body's interest, that his neighbors should be honest, candid88, open, forgiving, charitable, continent, sober, and what not. Therefore, by the general consent of mankind,—the inevitable89 instinct of self-interest,—such qualities are exalted90 into sanctity; christened with the name of virtues91; draped in white, and crowned with halos; rewarded with praises here and paradise hereafter. Drape the skeleton as you will, the bare skeleton is still there. Paint as thick as you will, the bare skull92 grins under it,—to all who have the eyes to see, and the hardihood to use them. How many among mankind have courage to face the naked truth? Not one in a thousand. Cannot the fools draw reason out of the analogy of things? Can they not see that, as their bodies will be melted and merged37 into the bodily substance of the world, so their minds will be merged in the great universal mind,—the animus93 mundi,—out of which they sprang, like bubbles on the water, and into which they will sink again, like bubbles when they burst? Immortality94! They may please themselves with the name; but of what worth is an immortality where individuality is lost, and each conscious atom drowned in the vast immensity? What a howling and screeching95 the wind makes in the rigging! If I were given to superstition96, I could fancy that a legion from the nether25 world were bestriding the ropes, yelping97 in grand jubilation98 at the sight of——"
Here his thoughts were abruptly99 cut short. A combing wave struck the vessel. She lurched with violence, and a shower of foam flew over her side. Vinal lost his balance. His feet slipped from under him. He fell, and slid quickly across the wet and tossing deck. Instinctively100 he braced his feet to stop himself against the bulwark on the lee side. But at the point where they touched it was the large port before mentioned. Though closed to all appearance, the bolt was still unfastened. It flew open at his touch. Vinal clutched to save himself. His fingers slipped on the wet timbers, and with a cry of horror, he was shot into the bubbling surges. There was a blinding in his eyes, a ringing in his ears; then, for an instant, he saw the light, and the black hulk of the vessel fled past like a shadow. Then a wave swept over him: all was darkness and convulsion, and a maddened sense of being flung high aloft, as the wave rolled him towards its crest like a drift sea weed. Here again light broke upon him; and flying above the merciless chaos101, he saw something like the white wing of a huge bird. It was the reefed main-topsail of the receding102 vessel. He shrieked103 wildly. A torrent104 of brine dashed back the cry, and foaming105 over his head, plunged him down into darkness again. Again he rose, gasping106 and half senseless; and again the ravenous107 breakers beat him down. A moment of struggle and of agony; then a long nightmare of dreamy horror, while, slowly settling downward, he sank below the turmoil108 of the storm; slowly and more slowly still, till the denser109 water sustained his weight. Then with limbs outstretched, he hovered110 in mid7 ocean, lonely, void, and vast, like a hawk111 poised112 in mid-air, while his felon113 spirit, bubbling to the surface, winged its dreary flight through the whistling storm.
