The Fo'c's'le Bell. No streak of light had yet appeared in the east; the first unpalpable glow of the early morning crept over the sea and over the ship like a mist, en- veloping all in a stirring, wondrous beauty that covered the whole face of 'the ocean with a tremulous, intangible smother of grey; that brought a great hush over the sea, and toned down all the nolses of the ship.

Beside this living bundle was a small tin of salmon, tucked close up to it, almost hidden by the shawl. O'Flynn flung the match away and looked up and down the street.
