'It all begins with a remarkable1 exploit of a man called Brown, who stole with complete success a Spanish schooner2 out of a small bay near Zamboanga. Till I discovered the fellow my information was incomplete, but most unexpectedly I did come upon him a few hours before he gave up his arrogant3 ghost. Fortunately he was willing and able to talk between the choking fits of asthma4, and his racked body writhed5 with malicious6 exultation7 at the bare thought of Jim. He exulted8 thus at the idea that he had "paid out the stuckup beggar after all." He gloated over his action. I had to bear the sunken glare of his fierce crow-footed eyes if I wanted to know; and so I bore it, reflecting how much certain forms of evil are akin9 to madness, derived10 from intense egoism, inflamed11 by resistance, tearing the soul to pieces, and giving factitious vigour12 to the body. The story also reveals unsuspected depths of cunning in the wretched Cornelius, whose abject13 and intense hate acts like a subtle inspiration, pointing out an unerring way towards revenge.
' "I could see directly I set my eyes on him what sort of a fool he was,"
