Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


All afternoon a gentle northerly fan of air snored the Elsinore
through the water at a five-knot clip, and our course lay east for
land, for the habitations of men, for the law and order that men
institute whenever they organize into groups. Once in Valparaiso,
with police flag flying, our mutineers will be taken care of by the
shore authorities.


Another thing I did was to rearrange our watches aft so as to split
up the three storm-visitors. Margaret took one in her watch, along
with the two sail-makers, Tom Spink, and Louis. Louis is half white,
and all trustworthy, so that, at all times, on deck or below, he is
told off to the task of never letting the topaz-eyed one out of his
sight.
