Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


And this is mutiny! As I write I can scarcely believe it. Yet I
know Mr. Pike keeps the watch over my head. I hear the shrill
laughter of the steward and Louis over some ancient Chinese joke.
Wada and the sail-makers, in the pantry, are, I know, talking
Japanese politics. And from across the cabin, along the narrow
halls, I can hear Margaret softly humming as she goes to bed.


But all doubts vanish at the stroke of eight bells, when I go on deck
to relieve Mr. Pike, who lingers a moment for a "gain," as he calls
it.
