The Fiend on the
Fore-Hatch
A SEA STORY
By MORGAN ROBERTSON
£ Cojj)i ight, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
The autocrat of the outward-bounci
ship Cumberland went, below for his
afternoon nap. But he was not to en
joy it; for by the time he had
stretched out. a sailor on the fore
royal yard sang out that a small boat
with a man in it lay ahead. All
nands were called, and the autocrat
appeared with his glasses.
“Good enough,” he grunted; "we’re
short-handed.”
"Might not be a sailor, sir.” said the
hrst mate.
"So much the worse for him.”
In another hour the occupant of the
boat was lifted up the side and carried
to the forecastle.
He was tall, slight of frame, and
diessed in what were once fashionable
garments, but now shrunken, salt
begrimed misfits.
"Well,” thundered the autocrat. “Go
forrard. Mr. Smart, set this man to
work.”
The stranger hesitated.
Mr. -Smart, who had drawn near,
remembered that he was second mate,
end felled the stranger to the deck
with a blow from behind. “Go for
rard.” he snarled. “Go forrard."
The man arose to his knees and was
"GO FOKKARD.”
kicked back by the captain. Arising
again, he met Mr. Smart’s fist, then
rhe captain’s boots again, then the
boots of both; and in this manner,
lurching, sliding and stumbling, he
obeyed the order to go forward. From
this time on the new hand sank his in
dividuality in an intense desire to mas
ter the work and ways of a sailor.
He progressed rapidly, but led a
dogs life until he had learned the
ropes, and. by willingness and intelli
gence, bad become of real service.
Aboai 1 ship if a newcomer delays I
giving his name, one will be given j
him, which he will be expected to an- i
ewer to. This man had given none, j
anu troy had called him “the actor.” I
Corrupting this from third to second :
person made his name “Actor.” It
was short, easy to pronounce in a loud
voice, and suited everybody.
li'.if at Bombay. having remained by
♦ he 'ii:o insteau of running off, as all ex
pected. he was called aft, complimented
on his proficiency by (he captain and of
fered the position of third mate under
wages for the passage home.
When the ship reached soundings a
gale from the northeast, with snow,
made the approach to the coast too
perilous, and she was brought to wind
under short sail.
At four o’clock that night, above the
roaring and whistling of the gale rang
out a laugh, so loud, derisive and un- ,
earthly, coining from above, that even
the stout-hearted chief mare shuddered.
( all the captain,” said the mate; i
and the autocrat was aroused. '
\\ hat s the trouble?” he demanded,
ns buttoning his oil-skin coat, he ap
peared in their midst.
"Die! Die! Die!” came the de
risive cry. ending with the terrible lin
gering laugh.
What is it?” asked the autocrat, his
face paling.
“Don't know, sir; we’ve heard It
from everywhere. It gave orders, an 1
we've lost fore and main to'gal
lan's'ls.”
The men had gradually drawn aft.
and now, one by one, mounted the
poop-deck ladder and clustered around
Uie group of officers near the wheel.
“Steward,” said the captain, auto
crat no longer, “serve grog.”
It was served, a stiff tumbler to
each.
“Now,” said the captain to the third
mate, "go forrard and see what it is.”
The third mate obediently left the
group.
They watched him crawl down the
ladder and creep along the slippery
deck until he had reached the fore
castle door which opened from the
forward end of the deck-house. Then
i
back he sped, falling twice to the
I ceck. mounting the ladder in two
I bounds, and floundering into their
midst, a chattering, mumbling embodi
ment of fright, his jaws working con
vulsively, his eyes protruding.
“What is it?” they asked. His in
coherent mutterings took form.
“Something horrid—white, sitting
on the fore-hatch,” he gasped, “some
thing white and shadowy, and it had
no face—no face—and no eyes.”
A shivery moan, marl ed by the click
ing of chattering teeth, arose from the
band of men. Nautical distinctions were
forgotten; captain, officers and sailors
were alike in their common humanity
—in their proximity to the unknown,
it was the “touch of nature” that
makes the whole world kin.
A sudden cessation of the thick snow
showed them a rocky coast looming up
ciose aboard—a blacker darkness—
while ahead was a jutting promontory.
‘ The coast of Maine!” exclaimed the
captain. “How’d we get up here?
Can wre get sail on her?”
“To’gallan’sTs gone, sir—all but the
mizzen.”
“Set it—and the royals.”
But the demoniac laughter filling fie
air prevented this order being obey. .1;
no one would leave the quarter-deck,
and with set faces and curdling blood
they watched the jagged coast ap
pioach closer and closer, while the tri
umphant laugh taunted their ears, un
til the Cumberland, with a grinding
crash and a jolt that threw them from
tnelr feet, struck the rocks a full
quarter-mile from the shore. Rockets
were sent up from the shelter of the
companion-way until the stock was ex
nausted. But no answering signal was
seen on the shore, and the wet, chilled,
and despairing men strained their
eyes for a full hour before one of them
called attention to a grayish spot in
the darkness astern, which disap
peared even as he pointed to it. A mo
ment later it came into view on the
crest of a sea.
It was a heavy, turtle-ended govern
ment life boat, with eight cork-jack
eted rowers.
The lee alley-way was crowded with
men eager to descend to the saving
iife-boat. and among those nearest to
tne rope was Capt. Gray, as eager as
any.
“Why don't ye wait?” growled one.
as he hustled him away and threw his
leg over the rail.
“Get back. ’ snarled another. “Back
wi ye. Yer cappen here. Stan’ by yer
ship.”
“We’ll have to swim for it.”
screamed the captain, above the din of
wind, sea and crashing wood. “Have
we any cork jackets?”
"In Mr. Actor's room.”
“Get them out."
The third mate descended and reap
peared with but one. which he meekly
handed to the captain.
“All that’s left, sir; my room is
washed away.”
The captain began buckling on the
cork jacket.
“No. you don’t,” shouted the second
mate, climbing towards him on the
now sloping deck “Leave us to drown,
will you? Not much. Give me that."
His eyes shone as though with incipi
ent insanity.
“No,” was the answer. Then the
jacket was torn from the captain’s
shoulder. He clinched the frenzied of
ficer and they fell, arising each with
a firm hold on the life preserver, the
straps of which were now broken. The
third mate watched them with a curi
ous light in his eyes. The first mate
had gone to his room for a cork mat
tress which he knew of.
As he appeared with it a sea swept
wha; was left of the half-submerged
bull just as »he struggling men reache 1
the break yf the poop When it had j
•jassed over, two heads were discerni
ble in tlie receding hollow to leeward.
; ■’. the struggle was continued in the |
v. ;er; then again—loud and clear
to e the howling of the tempest— j
w heard the mocking laughter and
ihi rightful ending: “Die! Die!”
“ Vf tor’s done for.” muttered the first
mate, as he sprang overboard with hit
mattress.
But out of the demolished cabin
c-merged the third mate, strapping on
a cork jacket.
The light from a burning tar barrel
shone on his face. Looking to wind
ward, at the black outline of storm
swept coast, and at the shaking, grind
ing fragment of a once stately ship or
which he stood, he smiled. But in that
smile there was no sweetness, no soft
ness. All the agony and despair, th*
misery and degradation of his en
forced voyage was expressed in it;
rnd in the dark eyes- flashing again
nod defiant—shone the triumph of piti
less vengeance. Creeping down to th'
rail, he sprang into the s*a and. fol
•owing his plunge by a half-minute :
the wrecked stern rolled shoreward
and the light from the tar barrel went
out in a hissing cloud of steam.

Prospects were good for the firsi mate.
Mr. Boswell. He was promised a ship, but
he could not sleep. Insomnia had seized
him, for an infernal, mocking voice
v as in his ears night and day. As an
offset, after a week’s suffering, he
thought of the theater. Any would do
and he entered the first play house he
came to. where he sat abstractedly
through a variety performance. A
burst of applause aroused him.
The applause continued and in
creased and. when a man appeared
there arose a deafening roar. The man
was in evening dress and, contrasting
strangely, yet agreeably, with the
white expanse of shirt front, was a
lace bronzed with the tan of sun and
cea to the hue of mahogany. From
this face Hashed a pair of magnificent
t’ark eyes, which wandered over the
audience, and, for a moment, rested
on Mr. Boswell. It was the third mate,
cr his ghost.
There was a momentary hush of the
audience, every face was turned up
ward; for from the dome of the house
tame a laugh—a little low laugh—
which grew louder and varied its tone
and volume from the titter of a child
to the guffaw of a giant. It ran up
'he scale, and down it. It played on
every chord of human merriment un
tli, as Mr. Boswell seized his hat and
sraggered from the theater, the each in
nation above, filling the whole house
with its sound, changed into the hor
r'd, fiendish voice of glee that had
iaughed a great ship on to the rock>
and two men to their death.
