Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


He was Mulligan Jacobs; and he picked his way back across the wreck
of the bridge where the fore-topgallant-yard still lay, and came up
to me unafraid, as implacable and bitter as ever.


"Jacobs," I whispered, "you are to stay here beside me until we
finish the job of smashing the boats. Do you get that?"


"As though it could fright me," he growled all too loudly. "Go ahead
for all I care. I know your game. And I know the game of the hell's
maggots under our feet this minute. 'Tis they that'd desert in the
boats. 'Tis you that'll smash the boats an' jail 'm kit an' crew."
