 THREE DAYS OF REST, THREE blessed days of rest, are what I had with Wolf Larsen, eating at the cabin table and doing nothing but discuss life, literature, and the universe, the while Thomas Mugridge fumed1 and raged and did my work as well as his own.

 'Watch out for squalls, is all I can say to you,' was Louis's warning, given during a spare half-hour on deck while Wolf Larsen was engaged in straightening out a row among the hunters.

 'Ye can't tell what'll be happenin',' Louis went on, in response to my query3 for more definite information. 'The man's as contrary as air-currents or water-currents. You can never guess the ways iv him. 'T is just as you're thinkin' you know him an' are makin' a favorable slant5 along him that he whirls around, dead ahead, an' comes howlin' down upon you an' a-rippin' all iv your fine-weather sails to rags.'

 So I was not altogether surprised when the squall foretold6 by Louis smote8 me. We had been having a heated discussion,- upon life, of course,- and, grown overbold, I was passing stiff strictures upon Wolf Larsen and the life of Wolf Larsen. In fact, I was vivisecting him and turning over his soul-stuff as keenly and thoroughly9 as it was his custom to do it to others. It may be a weakness of mine that I have an incisive10 way of speech, but I threw all restraint to the winds and cut and slashed11 until the whole man of him was snarling13. The dark sun-bronze of his face went black with wrath14; his eyes became ablaze
