The waning moon had not yet risen; the stars were all out, the Milky Way more than commonly near. The schooners sails were barely drawing, and flapped idly at times. I leaned on the rail, listening to the purling of the sea against the vessels side, and watching the phosphorescence where the water broke. The bell had just sounded a double stroke two bells. Near by, the taciturn black fellow who was our guide, and who alone (as shall appear) knew our course and destination was in talk with Rufe, our black cook. Heretofore, this man black he was, but having hair straight as an Indian shad been steadfastly mum on the subject of his past; this manifestly being but part and parcel of his policy to avoid any hint of the place to which he was piloting us. But now, I gathered, he was reciting to Rufe an episode set in this far away land to the south; and I cocked my ear. He was telling of something that had happened in his grandfathers experience, who, as he said, was in the service of the king of that land.
