Excerpt from The Wind-Jammers In this way I became acquainted with the different men employed upon the various parts of the vast hull for the Ship Of war that was being set up, and I knew their peculiarities and some of their affairs. My father was working with several other men, one day, on the dead-wood aft, when an unfinished butt flew out from its fastenings and struck a man named Simms, injuring him so badly that he was laid off. As the building dragged very slowly, other men were put on and my father had a new assistant. This new man was about thirty years of age and rather good - looking. He had no beard or mustache, and his sensitive mouth wore a grave expression, as if he were much given to deep thought. It was his eyes, however, that appeared to me most remarkable. They seldom met mine when he took his water from me, and when they did I always had the impression that I had seen only the whites of them in their corners.
