Unknown The Ruler of the Ocean of the Air…

Captain Mors made a contemptuous gesture.
"I am still a human being and no animal," he replied. "It is true that there is a man whom I hate even more strongly than you, but I will never sink so low that I do the kinds of things that you have done to defenseless and unfortunate ones. You have been condemned, you will receive death at the end of a rope, and just like on a ship you will dangle below the railing with your confederates."

Captain Mors continued. "You made me into a demon and you almost drove me to declare war on all of mankind. But the memory of those whom I once loved and who were killed by you, these thoughts kept me from turning into a devil. Of course, the earth is closed to me, you have accomplished that, but I am a ruler of the air, a buccaneer above the earth and the water. A man, for whom nothing he desires will be unobtainable.

Unknown The Ruler of the Ocean of the Air…

On the galleries there appeared ten or twelve men in the garb of sailors. There faces were harsh and sinister, they looked like they were carved from stone.
Some of these men, by their dark features, betrayed their origin in other parts of the world.
They held long poled with iron hooks at the end, and with these they were tying to pull some of the swimmers out of the water.
Among these strange looking men was Captain Mors, his burning eyes directed toward the sea. The transport ship was sinking lower and lower, and more men were jumping into the water.
