Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


I glanced at the mate's huge paw and appreciated its anaesthetic
qualities. Out on deck again, I saw Captain West on the poop, hands
still in pockets, quite uninterested, gazing at a blue break in the
sky to the north-east. More than the mates and the maniac, more than
the drunken callousness of the men, did this quiet figure, hands in
pockets, impress upon me that I was in a different world from any I
had known.


Wada broke in upon my thoughts by telling me he had been sent to say
that Miss West was serving tea in the cabin.
