Chapter 11

THE GHOST HAS ATTAINED¹ the southernmost point of the arc she is describing across the Pacific, and is already beginning to edge away to the west and north toward some lone² island, it is rumored³, where she will fill her water-casks before proceeding⁴ to the season's hunt along the coast of Japan. The hunters have experimented and practiced with their rifles and shotguns till they are satisfied, and the boat-pullers and steerers have made their sprit-sails, bound the oars⁵ and rowlocks in leather and sennit so that they will make no noise when creeping on the seals, and put their boats in apple-pie order, to use Leach's homely⁶ phrase.

 His arm, by the way, has healed nicely, though the scar will remain all his life. Thomas Mugridge lives in mortal fear of him, and is afraid to venture on deck after dark. There are two or three standing⁷ quarrels in the forecastle. Louis tells me that the gossip of the sailors finds its way aft, and that two of the telltales have been badly beaten by their mates. He shakes his head dubiously⁸ over the outlook for the man Johnson, who is boat-puller in the same boat with him. Johnson has been guilty of speaking his mind too freely, and has collided two or three times with Wolf Larsen over the pronunciation of his name. Johansen he thrashed on the amidships deck the other night, since which time the mate has called him by his proper name. But of course it is out of the question that Johnson should thrash Wolf Larsen.

 Louis has also given me additional information about Death Larsen, which tallies⁹ with the captain's brief description. We may expect to meet Death Larsen on the Japan coast. 'And look out for squalls,' is Louis's prophecy, 'for they hate one another like the wolf-whelps they are.' Death Larsen is in command of the only sealing-steamer in the fleet, which carries fourteen boats, where the schooners¹⁰ carry only six. There is wild talk of cannon¹¹ aboard, and of strange raids and expeditions she may make, ranging from opium-smuggling into the States and arms-smuggling into China, to black-birding and open piracy¹². Yet I cannot but believe Louis, for I have never yet caught him in a lie, while he has a cyclopedic knowledge of sealing and the men of the sealing-fleets.

 As it is forward and in the galley¹³, so it is in the steerage and aft, on this veritable hell-ship. Men fight and struggle ferociously¹⁴ for one another's lives. The hunters are looking for a shooting scrape at any moment between Smoke and Henderson, whose old quarrel has not healed, while Wolf Larsen says positively¹⁵ that he will kill the survivor¹⁶ of the affair if such affair comes off. He frankly¹⁷ states that the position he takes is based on no moral grounds, that all the hunters could kill and eat one another, so far as he is concerned, were it not that he needs them alive for the hunting. If they will only hold their hands until the season is over, he promises them a royal carnival¹⁸, when all grudges¹⁹ can be settled and the survivors²⁰ may toss the non-survivors overboard and arrange a story as to how the missing men were lost at sea. I think even the hunters are appalled²¹ at his cold-bloodedness. Wicked men though they be, they are certainly very much afraid of him.

 Thomas Mugridge is cur-like in his subjection to me, while I go about in secret dread²² of him. His is the courage of fear, a strange thing I know well of myself, and at any moment it may master the fear and impel²³ him to the taking of my life. My knee is much better, though it often aches for long periods, and the stiffness is gradually leaving the arm which Wolf Larsen squeezed. Otherwise I am in splendid condition, feel that I am in splendid condition. My muscles are growing harder and increasing in size. My hands, however, are a spectacle for grief. Also, I am suffering from boils, due to the diet most likely, for I was never so afflicted²⁴ before.

 I was amused, a couple of evenings back, by seeing Wolf Larsen reading the Bible, a copy of which, after the futile²⁵ search for one at the beginning of the voyage, had been found in the dead mate's sea-chest. I wondered what Wolf Larsen could get from it, and he read aloud to me from Ecclesiastes. I could imagine he was speaking the thoughts of his own mind as he read to me, and his voice, reverberating²⁶ deeply and mournfully in the confined cabin, charmed and held me. He may be uneducated, but he certainly knows how to express the significance of the written word. I can hear him now, as I shall always hear him, the primal²⁷ melancholy²⁸ vibrant²⁹ in his voice, as he read from Ecclesiastes the passage beginning: 'I gathered me also silver and gold.'

 'There you have it, Hump,' he said, closing the book upon his finger and looking up at me. 'The Preacher who was king over Israel in Jerusalem thought as I think. You call me a pessimist³⁰. Is not this pessimism³¹ of the blackest?- 'all is vanity and vexation of spirit'; 'there is no profit under the sun'; 'there is one event unto all,' to the fool and the wise, the clean and the unclean, the sinner and the saint; and that event is death, and an evil thing, he says. For the Preacher loved life, and did not want to die, saying, 'For a living dog is better than a dead lion.' He preferred the vanity and vexation to the silence and unmovableness of the grave. And so I. To crawl is piggish; but to not crawl, to be as the clod and rock, is loathsome³² to contemplate³³. It is loathsome to the life that is in me, the very essence of which is movement, the power of movement, and the consciousness of the power of movement. Life itself is unsatisfaction, but to look ahead to death is greater unsatisfaction.'

 'You are worse off than Omar,' I said. 'He, at least, after the customary agonizing³⁴ of youth, found content and made of his materialism³⁵ a joyous³⁶ thing.'

 'Who was Omar?' Wolf Larsen asked, and I did no more work that day, nor the next, or next.

 In his random³⁷ reading he had never chanced upon the 'Rubaiyat,' and it was to him like a great find of treasure. Much I remembered, possibly two thirds of the quatrains, and I managed to piece out the remainder without difficulty. We talked for hours over single stanzas³⁸, and I found him reading into them a wail³⁹ of regret and a rebellion which for the life of me I could not discover myself. Possibly I recited with a certain joyous lilt which was my own, for- his memory was good, and at a second rendering⁴⁰, very often the first, he made a quatrain his own- he recited the same lines and invested them with an unrest and passionate⁴¹ revolt that were well-nigh convincing.

 I was interested as to which quatrain he would like best, and was not surprised when he hit upon the one born of an instant's irritability⁴² and quite at variance⁴³ with the Persian's complacent⁴⁴ philosophy and genial⁴⁵ code of life:

  What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?

  And, without asking, Whither hurried hence!

  Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine

  Must drown the memory of that insolence⁴⁶!

 'Great!' Wolf Larsen cried. 'Great! That's the keynote. Insolence! He could not have used a better word.'

 In vain I objected and denied. He deluged⁴⁷ me, overwhelmed me with argument.

 'It's not the nature of life to be otherwise. Life, when it knows that it must cease living, will always rebel. It cannot help itself. The Preacher found life and the works of life all a vanity and vexation, an evil thing; but death, the ceasing to be able to be vain and vexed⁴⁸, he found an eviler thing. Through chapter after chapter he is worried by the one event that cometh to all alike. So Omar, so I, so you, even you, for you rebelled against dying when Cooky sharpened a knife for you. You were afraid to die; the life that was in you, that composes you, that is greater than you, did not want to die. You have talked of the instinct of immortality⁴⁹. I talk of the instinct of life, which is to live, and which, when death looms⁵⁰ near and large, masters the instinct, so called, of immortality. It mastered it in you (you cannot deny it), because a crazy Cockney cook sharpened a knife.

 'You are afraid of him now. You are afraid of me. You cannot deny it. If I catch you by the throat thus,'- his hand was about my throat, and my breath was shut off,- 'and begin to press the life out of you, thus, and thus, your instinct of immortality will go glimmering⁵¹, and your instinct of life, which is longing⁵² for life, will flutter up, and you will struggle to save yourself. Eh? I see the fear of death in your eyes. You beat the air with your arms. You exert all your puny⁵³ strength to struggle to live. Your hand is clutching my arm; lightly it feels as a butterfly resting there. Your chest is heaving, your tongue protruding⁵⁴, your skin turning dark, your eyes swimming. "To live! To live! To live!" you are crying; and you are crying to live here and now, not hereafter. You doubt your immortality, eh? Ha! ha! You are not sure of it. You won't chance it. This life only you are certain is real. Ah, it is growing dark and darker. It is the darkness of death, the ceasing to be, the ceasing to feel, the ceasing to move, that is gathering⁵⁵ about you, descending⁵⁶ upon you, rising around you. Your eyes are becoming set. They are glazing⁵⁷. My voice sounds faint and far. You cannot see my face. And still you struggle in my grip. You kick with your legs. Your body draws itself up in knots like a snake's. Your chest heaves and strains. To live! To live! To live- '

 I heard no more. Consciousness was blotted⁵⁸ out by the darkness he had so graphically⁵⁹ described, and when I came to myself I was lying on the floor, and he was smoking a cigar and regarding me thoughtfully with that old, familiar light of curiosity in his eyes.

 'Well, have I convinced you?' he demanded. 'Here, take a drink of this. I want to ask you some questions.'

 I rolled my head negatively on the floor. 'Your arguments are too- er- forcible,' I managed to articulate, at cost of great pain to my aching throat.

 'You'll be all right in half an hour,' he assured me. 'And I promise I won't use any more physical demonstrations⁶⁰. Get up now. You can sit on a chair.'

 And, toy that I was of this monster, the discussion of Omar and the Preacher was resumed. And half the night we sat up over it.
