It is too often forgotten by those who ignorantly write upon this subject how free from all restraint save that of his own conscience is the master of a sailing ship at sea on a long passage. If he be a cruel, brave bully4 and tyrant—and believe me the bully is not always a coward as is generally supposed—he finds abundant opportunity to gratify his propensities5 and is almost sure of immunity6 from retribution when the vessel7 reaches port from the well-known careless character of his victims.
 
Where he has a few passengers another side of him may develop, as with Captain Eldridge, a side that must be touched very lightly upon but which all will understand, and many have been the tragedies resulting from his lack of gentlemanly self-restraint. And in the present case all the indications pointed[Pg 321] to a tragedy fast approaching as the captain, encouraged by the apparently8 entire indifference9 of the two male passengers, pressed his unwelcome attentions daily with more perseverance10 upon the young wife.
