 at it with those nitrates. We sprinkled it all over the ship fore and aft, and then we put the whaleboat over the side and sprinkled the stuff against her sides and as far down as we could get below her waterline. Pretty soon the weed in the rigging began to dry up and wither away, and then she began to roll a bit instead of wobbling. Another six hours of it, with most of the cargo overboard, and we were clear. We still had some canvas on her and a little breeze came along and pushed her out of there.

I thought maybe Randolph had thrown himself overboard and had not been noticed during the excitement, but the next day we found him hiding in the after hold. He said he was waiting for the ship to go down and that nobody would fool him this time. When I told him she was clear he began to cry like a child. Then I got him up to my cabin and set him about writing his statement.

But I'd forgotten he had a mania for making away with himself—I suppose I'm to blame for that. He went out on the deck afterward. I didn't see what happened, but the mate said he climbed up into the mizzen shrouds and then threw himself down—not into the water but upon the deck. When we picked him up he was conscious, but dying.

I felt sorry for him, poor devil! He called to me as he lay there dying, and made me promise that I'd bury him as soon as he'd gone.

"Ï can walk back by myself," said he. "I know the way. I'll find her."

Well, what could I do? I promised. He went, about half an hour later, smiling a good-bye. We sewed him in one of those sacks, put some scrap iron at his feet, and let him go. I suppose he's down there now, and I hope he found her, whoever she may be.
