A light—clear, ruddy and brilliant, like a huge carbuncle—uprose one evening from the deep, and remained hovering2 about forty feet above the surface, scattering3 its rays far and wide, over the Downs to Ramsgate and Deal, along the coast towards Dover, away beyond the North Foreland, across the Goodwin Sands, and far out upon the bosom4 of the great North Sea.
It was a chill November evening, when this light arose, in the year—well, it matters not what year. We have good reasons, reader, for shrouding5 this point in mystery. It may have been recently; it may have been “long, long ago.” We don’t intend to tell. It was not the first time of that light’s appearance, and it certainly was not the last. Let it suffice that what we are about to relate did happen, sometime or other within the present century.
Besides being cold, the evening in question was somewhat stormy—“gusty,” as was said of it by a traveller with a stern visage and remarkably6 keen grey eyes, who entered the coffee-room of an hotel which stood on the margin7 of Ramsgate harbour facing the sea, and from the upper windows of which the light just mentioned was visible.
“It is, sir,” said the waiter, in reply to the “gusty” observation, stirring the fire while the traveller divested8 himself of his hat and greatcoat.
“Think it’s going to blow hard?” inquired the traveller, planting himself firmly on the hearth-rug, with his back to the fire, and his thumbs hooked into the armholes of his waistcoat.
“It may, sir, and it may not,” answered the waiter, with the caution of a man who has resolved, come what may, never to commit himself. “Sometimes it comes on to blow, sir, w’en we don’t look for it; at other times it falls calm w’en we least expects it. I don’t pretend to understand much about the weather myself, sir, but I shouldn’t wonder if it was to come on to blow ’ard. It ain’t an uncommon9 thing at Ramsgate, sir.”
The traveller, who was a man of few words, said “Humph!” to which the waiter dutifully replied “Yessir,” feeling, no doubt, that the observation was too limited to warrant a lengthened10 rejoinder.
The waiter of the Fortress11 Hotel had a pleasant, sociable12, expressive13 countenance14, which beamed into a philanthropic smile as he added—
“Can I do anything for you, sir?”
“Yes—tea,” answered the traveller with the keen grey eyes, turning, and poking15 the fire with the heel of his boot.
“Anything with it, sir?” asked the waiter with that charmingly confident air peculiar16 to his class, which induces one almost to believe that if a plate of elephant’s foot or a slice of crocodile’s tail were ordered it would be produced, hot, in a few minutes.
“D’you happen to know a man of the name of Jones in the town?” demanded the traveller, facing round abruptly17.
The waiter replied that he had the pleasure of knowing at least seven Joneses in the town.
“Yessir, he do, but he don’t live in Ramsgate; he belongs to Yarmouth, sir, comes ’ere only now and then.”
“D’you know anything about him?”
“No, sir, he don’t frequent this ’otel.”
The waiter said this in a tone which showed that he deemed that fact sufficient to render Jones altogether unworthy of human interest; “but I believe,” he added slowly, “that he is said to ’ave plenty of money, bears a bad character, and is rather fond of his bottle, sir.”
“You know nothing more?”
“Nothing, sir.”
“Ham and eggs, dry toast and shrimps19,” said the keen-eyed traveller in reply to the reiterated20 question.
Before these viands21 were placed on the table the brief twilight22 had passed away and darkness en-shrouded land and sea. After they had been consumed the traveller called for the latest local paper, to which he devoted23 himself for an hour with unflagging zeal—reading it straight through, apparently24, advertisements and all, with as much diligence as if it were a part of his professional business to do so. Then he tossed it away, rang the bell, and ordered a candle.
“I suppose,” he said, pointing towards the sea, as he was about to quit the room, “that that is the floating light?”
“It is one of ’em, sir,” replied the waiter. “There are three lights on the sands, sir; the Northsan ’ead, the Gull25-stream, and the Southsan ’ead. That one, sir, is the Gull.”
“How far off may it be?”
“About four miles, sir.”
“What is the mate’s name?”
“Welton, sir, John Welton.”
“Is he aboard just now?”
“Yessir, it’s the master’s month ashore26. The master and mate ’ave it month an’ month about, sir—one month afloat, next month ashore; but it seems to me, sir, that they have ’arder work w’en ashore than they ’ave w’en afloat—lookin’ after the Trinity stores, sir, an’ goin’ off in the tender to shift and paint the buoys27 an’ such like; but then you see, sir, w’en it’s their turn ashore they always gits home to spend the nights with their families, sir, w’ich is a sort of compensation, as it were,—that’s where it is, sir.”
“Humph! d’you know what time it is slack water out there in the afternoon just now?”
“About three o’clock, sir.”
“Call me at nine to-morrow; breakfast at half-past; beefsteaks, coffee, dry toast. Good-night.”
“Yessir—good-night, sir—Number 27, sir, first floor, left-hand side.”
Number 27 slammed his door with that degree of violence which indicates a stout28 arm and an easy conscience. In less than quarter of an hour the keen grey eyes were veiled in slumber29, as was proved unmistakably to the household by the sounds that proceeded from the nose to which these eyes belonged.
It is not unfrequently found that strength of mind, vigour30 of body, high colour, and a tremendous appetite are associated with great capacity for snoring. The man with the keen grey eyes possessed31 all these qualities, as well as a large chin and a firm mouth, full of very strong white teeth. He also possessed the convenient power of ability to go to sleep at a moment’s notice and to remain in that felicitous32 condition until he chose to awake. His order to be “called” in the morning had reference merely to hot water; for at the time of which we write men were still addicted34 to the ridiculous practice of shaving—a practice which, as every one knows, is now confined chiefly to very old men—who naturally find it difficult to give up the bad habit of a lifetime—and to little boys, who erroneously suppose that the use of a sharp penknife will hasten Nature’s operations.
Exactly at nine o’clock, a knock at the door and “’Ot water, sir,” sounded in the ears of Nunber 27. At half-past nine precisely35 Number 27 entered the coffee-room, and was so closely followed by the waiter with breakfast that it seemed as if that self-sacrificing functionary36 had sat up all night keeping the meal hot in order to testify, by excessive punctuality, the devotion of his soul to duty.
The keen-eyed man had a keen appetite, if one might judge from appearances in such a matter. A thick underdone steak that overwhelmed his plate appeared to melt away rapidly from before him. Potatoes he disposed of in two bites each; small ones were immolated37 whole. Of mustard he used as much as might have made a small-sized plaster; pepper he sowed broadcast; he made no account whatever of salt, and sugar was as nothing before him. There was a peculiar crash in the sound produced by the biting of his toast, which was suggestive at once of irresistible38 power and thorough disintegration39. Coffee went down in half-cup gulps40; shrimps disappeared in shoals, shells and all; and—in short, his proceedings41 might have explained to an intelligent observer how it is that so many men grow to be exceedingly fat, and why it is that hotel proprietors42 cannot afford to lower their apparently exorbitant43 charges. The waiter, standing44 modestly by, and looking on with solemn interest, mentally attributed the traveller’s extraordinary powers and high health to the fact that he neither smoked nor drank. It would be presumptuous45 in us to hazard a speculation46 on this subject in the face of an opinion held by one who was so thoroughly47 competent to judge.
Breakfast over, the keen-eyed man put on his hat and overcoat and sallied forth48 to the harbour, where he spent the greater part of the forenoon in loitering about, inspecting the boats—particularly the lifeboat—and the shipping49 with much interest, and entering into conversation with the boatmen who lounged upon the pier50. He was very gracious to the coxswain of the lifeboat—a bluff51, deep-chested, hearty52, neck-or-nothing sort of man, with an intelligent eye, almost as keen as his own, and a manner quite as prompt. With this coxswain he conversed53 long about the nature of his stirring and dangerous duties. He then made inquiry54 about his crew: how many men he had, and their circumstances; and, by the way, whether any of them happened to be named Jones. One of them was so named, the coxswain said—Tom Jones. This led the traveller to ask if Tom Jones owned a small sloop. No, he didn’t own a sloop, not even a boat. Was there any other Jones in the town who owned a small sloop and dealt largely in cured fish? Yes there was, and he was a regular gallow’s-bird, if all reports were true, the coxswain told him.
The traveller did not press the subject long. Having brought it up as it were incidentally, he dismissed it carelessly, and again concentrated his attention and interest on the lifeboat.
To all the men with whom he conversed this bluff man with the keen grey eyes put the same question, and he so contrived55 to put it that it seemed to be a matter of comparatively little interest to him whether there was or was not a man of the name of Jones in the town. Nevertheless, he gained all the information about Jones that he desired, and then, hiring a boat, set out for the floating light.
The weather, that had appeared threatening during the night, suddenly became calm and fine, as if to corroborate56 the statement of the waiter of the Fortress Hotel in regard to its uncertainty57; but knowing men in oilcloth sou’westers and long boots gave it as their opinion that the weather was not to be trusted. Fortunately for the traveller, it remained trustworthy long enough to serve his purpose. The calm permitted his boat to go safely alongside of the light-ship, and to climb up the side without difficulty.
The vessel58 in which he found himself was not by any means what we should style clipper-built—quite the reverse. It was short for its length, bluff in the bows, round in the stern, and painted all over, excepting the mast and deck, of a bright red colour, like a great scarlet59 dragon, or a gigantic boiled lobster60. It might have been mistaken for the first attempt in the ship-building way of an infatuated boy, whose acquaintance with ships was founded on hearsay61, and whose taste in colour was violently eccentric. This remarkable62 thing had one immense mast in the middle of it, supported by six stays, like the Norse galleys63 of old, but it had no yards; for, although the sea was indeed its home, and it incessantly64 braved the fury of the storm, diurnally65 cleft66 the waters of flood and ebb-tide, and gallantly67 breasted the billows of ocean all the year round, it had no need of sails. It never advanced an inch on its course, for it had no course. It never made for any port. It was never either homeward or outward bound. No streaming eyes ever watched its departure; no beating hearts ever hailed its return. Its bowsprit never pointed69 either to “Greenland’s icy mountains, or India’s coral strand,” for it had no bowsprit at all. Its helm was never swayed to port or starboard, although it had a helm, because the vessel turned submissive with the tides, and its rudder, being lashed70 hard and fast amidships—like most weather-cocks—couldn’t move. Its doom71 was to tug72 perpetually, day and night, from year to year, at a gigantic anchor which would not let go, and to strain at a monster chain-cable which would not snap—in short, to strive for ever, like Sisyphus, after something which can never be attained73.
A sad destiny, some may be tempted74 to exclaim. No, reader, not so sad as it appears. We have presented but one side of the picture. That curious, almost ridiculous-looking craft, was among the aristocracy of shipping. Its important office stamped it with nobility. It lay there, conspicuous75 in its royal colour, from day to day and year to year, to mark the fair-way between the white cliffs of Old England and the outlying shoals—distinguished in daylight by a huge ball at its mast-head, and at night by a magnificent lantern with argand lamps and concave reflectors, which shot its rays like lightning far and wide over the watery76 waste, while, in thick weather, when neither ball nor light could be discerned, a sonorous77 gong gave its deep-toned warning to the approaching mariner78, and let him know his position amid the surrounding dangers. Without such warnings by night and by day, the world would suffer the loss of thousands of lives and untold79 millions of gold. Indeed the mere33 absence of such warnings for one stormy night would certainly result in loss irreparable to life and property. As well might Great Britain dispense80 with her armies as with her floating lights! That boiled-lobster-like craft was also, if we may be allowed to say so, stamped with magnanimity, because its services were disinterested81 and universal. While other ships were sailing grandly to their ports in all their canvas panoply82, and swelling83 with the pride of costly84 merchandise within, each unmindful of the other, this ship remained floating there, destitute85 of cargo86, either rich or poor, never in port, always on service, serene87 in all the majesty88 of her one settled self-sacrificing purpose—to guide the converging89 navies of the world safely past the dangerous shoals that meet them on their passage to the world’s greatest port, the Thames, or to speed them safely thence when outward-bound. That unclipperly craft, moreover, was a gallant68 vessel, because its post was one of danger. When other ships fled on the wings of terror—or of storm trysails—to seek refuge in harbour and roadstead, this one merely lengthened her cable—as a knight90 might shake loose the reins91 of his war-horse on the eve of conflict—and calmly awaited the issue, prepared to let the storm do its worst, and to meet it with a bold front. It lay right in the Channel, too, “i’ the imminent92 deadly breach,” as it were, prepared to risk encounter with the thousands of ships, great and small, which passed to and fro continually;—to be grazed and fouled93 by clumsy steersmen, and to be run into at night by unmanageable wrecks94 or derelicts; ready for anything in fact—come weal come woe95, blow high blow low—in the way of duty, for this vessel was the Floating Light that marked the Gull-stream off the celebrated96 and fatal Goodwin Sands.
