Chapter XIV
And I steered, too tired for anxiety, too tired for connected thought. I had moments of grim exultation and then my heart would sink awfully at the thought of that forecastle at the other end of the dark deck, full of fever-stricken men--some of them dying. By my fault. But never mind. Remorse must wait.
