Little by little as the Seamew who was not quite certain as to her

appearance, in baggy trousers and tight jerseys, came slowly on to the
quay and stared meditatively at the water or shouted vehemently at other
men, who had got into small boats to bale them out with rusty cans. From

information, the Seamew, discovered her destination and was soon fast
alongside.
