Book Excerpt: n man. Neils was steady, industrious, faithful, capable, and reliable; any one of a hundred deckhand jobs were ever open to Neils, yet, for some reason best known to himself, he preferred to stick by the Maggie. In his dull way it is probable that he was fascinated by the agile intelligence of Mr. Gibney, the vitriolic tongue of Captain Scraggs, and the elephantine wit and grizzly bear courage of Mr. McGuffey. At any rate, he delighted in hearing them snarl and wrangle.However, to return to the Maggie which we left entering the tule fog a few miles north of Pilar Point: CHAPTER IIICaptain Scraggs and The Squarehead partook first of the ham and eggs, coffee and bread which the skipper prepared. Scraggs then prepared a similar meal for Mr. Gibney and McGuffey, set it in the oven to keep warm, and descended to the engine room to relieve McGuffey for dinner.

A passage from the book... They had seen the fog rolling down the coast shortly after the Maggie had rounded Pilar Point at sunset and headed north. Captain Scraggs has been steamboating too many unprofitable years on San Francisco Bay, the Suisun and San Pablo sloughs and dogholes and the Sacramento River to be deceived as to the character of that fog, and he remarked as much to Mr. Gibney. "We'd better turn back to Halfmoon Bay and tie up at the dock," he added."Calamity howler!" retorted Mr. Gibney and gave the wheel a spoke or two. "Scraggsy, you're enough to make a real sailor sick at the stomach.""But I tell you she's a tule fog, Gib. She rises up in the marshes of the Sacramento and San Joaquin, drifts down to the bay and out the Golden Gate and just naturally blocks the wheels of commerce while she lasts. Why, I've known the ferry boats between San Francisco and Oakland to get lost for hours on their twenty-minute run-and all along of a blasted tule fog.""I don't doubt your word a mite, Scraggsy. I never did see a ferry-boat skipper that knew shucks about sailorizing," the imperturbable Gibney responded. "Me, I'll smell my way home in any tule fog."

At the same time, Scraggs and Neils Halvorsen came crawling over the deckload and when they reached the clear spj around the pilot house, Captain Scraggs threw ] brown derby on the deck and leaped upon it until, ] rage abating ultimately, no power on earth, in the a or under the sea, could possibly have rehabilitated and rendered it fit for further wear, even by Capt, ' Scraggs. This petulant practice of jumping on his 1 was a habit with Scraggs whenever anything annoy him particularly and was always infallible evider' that a simple declarative sentence had stuck in throat. "Well, old whirling dervish," Mr. Gibney demaiic calmly when Scraggs paused for lack of breath continue his dance, "what about it? We're up S Creek without a paddle; all hell to pay and no pi hot." "McGuffey's fired!" Captain Scraggs screeched "Come, come, Scraggsy, old tarpot," Mr. Gibney soothed. "This ain't no time for fightin'. Thinkin' an' actin' is all that saves the Maggie now." But Captain Scraggs was beyond reason. "McGuffey's fired! McGuffey's fired!" he reiterated. "The dirty rotten wharf rat! Call yourself an engineer?" he continued, witheringly. "As an engineer you're a howling success at shoemakin', you slob. I'll fix your clock for you, my hearty. I'll have your ticket took away from you, an' that's no Chinaman's dream, nuttier." "It's all my fault runnin' by dead reckonin'," the honest Gibney protested. "Mac ain't to fault. The engine room telegraph busted an' he got the wrong signal." "It's his business to see to it that he's got an engine room telegraph that won't bust" "You dog!" McGuffey roared and sprang at the...
