I know how to work. Thats good because thats what youre going to do right now. Mate will bring you oilskins. Youre to go topside and lend a hand. Gavan OConnell accepted this directive without a word. He felt weak and sick, but the captain had spoken and he didnt appear to be a man to be taken lightly. He put two fingers to his brow in a hesitant salute and spoke haltingly. Whatever----you say. Captain Nielsen nodded his head acknowledging the salute. Do your job man, and well get along. Nielsen left. Larsen brought him the oilskins and rubber boots. They went topside where the wind and water were. Larsen gave him a coil of line to hold.. Hold this line and dont let it drop. If you drop it, Ill put you in the yards. Hold it till I get back. Dont go near the sides. Stay here. Dont sit down. You understand? Yes. Larsen left.
