CHAPTER VI 



WORK!" said Mr. Robert Vyner, severely, as he reclined in a deck-chair on the poop of the Indian Chief and surveyed his surroundings through half-closed eyes. "Work! It’s no good sitting here idling while the world’s work awaits my attention." 

Captain Trimblett, who was in a similar posture a yard away, assented. He also added that there was "nothing like it." 

"There’s no play without work," continued Mr. Vyner, in a spirit of self-admonition. 

The captain assented again. "You said something about work half an hour ago," he remarked. 

"And I meant it," said Mr. Vyner; "only in unconscious imitation I dozed off. What I really want is for somebody to take my legs, somebody else my shoulders, and waft me gently ashore." 

"I had a cook o’ mine put ashore like that once," said Captain Trimblett, in a reminiscent voice; "only I don’t know that I would have called it ’wafting,’ and, so far as my memory goes, he didn’t either. He had a lot to say about it, too." 

Mr. Vyner, with a noisy yawn, struggled out of his chair and stood adjusting his collar and waistcoat. 

"If I couldn’t be a chrysalis," he said, slowly, as he looked down at the recumbent figure of the captain, "do you know what I would like to be?" 

"I’ve had a very hard day’s work," said the other, defensively, as he struggled into a sitting posture—"very hard. And I was awake half the night with the toothache." 

"That isn’t an answer to my question," said Mr. Vyner, gently. "But never mind; try and get a little sleep now; try and check that feverish desire for work, which is slowly, very, very slowly, wearing you to skin and bone. Think how grieved the firm would be if the toothache carried you off one night. Why not go below and turn in now? It’s nearly five o’clock."  QUESTIONS:
