 Though the mate had removed some of the stores, much the larger portion was left on board, for the Nantucket had been provisioned for a long voyage. Yet Captain Hill saw fit to complain.
“It is fortunate that you didn’t take all the stores, Mr. Holdfast,” he remarked, in a sarcastic1 tone.
The mate eyed the captain steadily2.
“May I ask your meaning, Captain Hill?” he asked.
“I mean what I say, sir. I think my language requires no interpreter.”
“Then I can only reply that it would have made no difference if I had removed all the provisions.”
“You appear to forget that I am your superior officer,” said the captain in a heat.
“I had no superior officer at the time I ordered the removal.”
“You have now, at any rate.”
“We are not at sea, Captain Hill. The vessel3 is wrecked4, and all distinctions are at an end. Now it is each for himself.”
“So, sir, you defy my authority!” exclaimed the captain, looking black.
“I don’t recognize it, that is all.”
“You shall, sir!” retorted the captain, frowning. “You shall learn, also, that I have means to enforce it. I have nearly a dozen seamen6 under me, and you have only the boy, Jack7 Pendleton.”
“Captain Hill, all this is very foolish. We are ship-wrecked, and have taken refuge on the same island. Instead of quarreling, we should help each other.”
“So you presume to lecture me!” sneered8 the captain.
Mr. Holdfast didn’t care to continue the dispute.
“I am ready to help you remove what you require,” he said, quietly. “It will be well to remove as much as possible today, for we may at any time have a storm, that will effectually put an end to our work.”
