Chapter VI
For some few moments Carew sat on the opposite bunk, watching the sailor's face musingly. Then, rising, he addressed him in French. "I will fetch you a glass of rum. It will do you good." "I thank you much, sir," said the man, in the same language; "I should like it, for I still feel very faint."
