Quotes from The Ship of Shadows — 11. The Storm Breaks (H. Bedford-Jones)

H. Bedford-Jones, The Ship of Shadows — 11. The Storm Breaks (1920)

“ My dear Marie, I understand that in times past you have suffered because of those around me. Will you forgive the fault of those who are gone? Will you let the dead bury their dead?”
The outburst of passionate emotion that filled the face of Marie was quenched by the softness of the sea-gray eyes that compelled hers. Her lips quivered; and abruptly she caught the outstretched hand of Mrs. Ivanoff. Tears smothered the words in her throat.
“Where’s Garrity?” demanded Venable of the two men.
Abe Gerin poised himself upon Stormalong’s arm. ”

“ Like you, these many years I have been in the world but not of it—living my own little life in my own environment, out of contact with primitive things and emotions, coursing in a narrow path and unable to see beyond it; like you, I have been in touch only with the gentler side of life, dreaming of God and sufficient unto myself alone—thanking Heaven that I was not as other men were! ”

“ Mr. Jason lay there silent and unmoving.
“Garrity!” Venable’s voice bit into the wind. “Go for’ard and seize Kryalpin—also Shinski, if he’s alive! Stormalong, grab that fellow Deardorf, and bring Abe Gerin here. What’s become of Pinsky?”
He stared about the deck, passing over the frightened, wondering gaze of Marie, who had shrunk against the rail. Pinsky had vanished. ”

“ And in this bit sea they’ll come to no harm, more’s the pity! Jason’s a seaman. He’ll have a sail up and be scudding before the wind in no time.”
“I’ll not do it,” answered Venable. “It would be sheer murder. Take care of the hurt men and make them all prisoners; I’ll ask Mrs. Ivanoff what to do with ’em. Madam, are you injured?”
This to Marie, who dumbly shook her head. She was upholding Gerin; yet her eyes were fastened upon Garrity in fascination.
Venable turned his back upon all of them and passed to the saloon-deck ladder. ”

“ Venable shrugged his shoulders, after another look at the tossing waters which showed no further trace of the Bolshevik.
“Shinski’s dead!” came Garrity’s voice, who appeared, leading two of his men, their hands busy with Boris Kryalpin. “This bird has a scratch across the skull, but he’ll be up to more divilment when he comes around, I’m thinking.”
Stormalong showed up in charge of Deardorf, and Abe Gerin was helped to the scene. He looked at Venable with a grim smile.
“Just in time, Venable! Thanks. My ankle’s been twisted up pretty badly, I guess. All the fish in the net? Where’s Jason?” ”

“ It’s a fight, this world, a great fight. Uprightness is strength, and it must prove itself pitilessly. If we have a cause, we must fight for it—look at that pitiful man Abe Gerin! His whole fight here is for the woman Marie who loves him not, and he gives himself because he loves her—”
“I am very silly,” said Mrs. ”

“ It is most astonishing that none of us have been hurt; Gerin’s leg was injured a trifle, I think. Shinski is dead. In fact, Deardorf, Mr. Jason and Boris Kryalpin are all more or less hurt, and prisoners. ”
