SYNOPSIS
In 1842, a British patrol ship, the
Lion’s Whhelp, captures a slave
ship commanded by Captain Nug-
gin Taylor and his mate, Powdah.
The two refuse to tell what hap-
pened to their black cargo. They
are strung up on the yardarm by
their thumbs. Lieutenant Tarry-
ton of Her Majesty's Navy is es-
pecially tough with the prisoners.
But Taylor knows that Tarryton
is in league with the slave syndi-
cate, and tells him so.
CHAPTER II
Taylor, with Powdah at his heels,
picked his way amongst the bales and
barrels of Liverpool Dock. A confer-
ence between Martisel and Woodley of
the Naval Commissioner's office, had
freed them from the brig of the Lion's
‘Whelp. The shadow of the law was
lifted from them.
“Powdah, my friend, let us go drink
to our eternal parting.”
“Nuggin,” Powdah pleaded,
ain’t gonna leave me here?”
“You're no credit to an honest man,
Powdah.”
“Credit? I got cash. Didn't I steal
the sailingmaster’s money?”
“Pig. You told me he gave It to
you,” Taylor said angrily.
“That’s because you got a conscience.
“you

a conscience to keep you from starv-
ing, Nuggin.”
Taylor stepped to one side to let a
carriage pass. It’s wheels splashed
mud on him, and Taylor stared for a
second into a girl's eyes.
“Oh, I'm sorry,” she cried.
The carriage rolled on. Powdah
with an oath picked up a stone.
“Fluffy duffy.”
“Barbarian. You would throw rocks
at your grandmother,” Taylor laugh-
ed, and knocked the stone out of the
hands of Powdah.
“Nuggin, you are coming unglued
again. Look. She's stopped. That's
Tarryton getting in with her. It's the
same pretty face over again. It’s his
sister, Nuggin.”
“Birds of a feather, Powdah. I've
got more than sisters on my mind.
Here's the pub I'm looking for. The
Red Dragon.” :
“I'll buy you a beer,” Powdah prom-
ised him. _
“Good. Spend your money On me.
You haven’t enough, anyway, to buy
a passage on the emigrant ship Wil-
liam Browm yonder.”
“Have you?”
“Nuggin, I have. Martisel took my
Captain’s papers, but he softened the
blow with a little cash. I rather think

Thé Red Dragon was an uproar of
coster’s songs and drunken oaths.
Knots of emigrants told glowing tales
of free America. In one corner a bale
violinist flourished his bow across the
strings. Powdah slumped disconsol-
ately in a booth, drew pictures senti-
mentally with his finger in slopped
beer foam.
“So it’s like that, is it, Nuggin? Hel-
lo and good-bye. It ain't with me. I
ain’t never had a friend before. Not
like you, I ain’t. You ain't listenin’
to me.”
“I'm looking for a man,”
said, staring around.
Taylor
“Youre my friend, ain't you?”
“Yep.”
“Well, I'm your for life. Nobody
that took a fancy to me before ever
done anything about it but kick me
in the teeth. You're different. Nug-
gin, you see this ring in my ear? It's
my mother’s wedding ring,” Powdah
gulped. “You're the first person I
ever told about my mother. Yeah, and
you know why? Maybe you think it’s
jest talk. It ain’t. It's because....
well, because I love you.”
“Maybe it’s the beer,” Taylor said.
“I feel the same way about you, Pow-
dah, and I can’t account for it.”
“’Member when you sat up and
looked at me and said ‘I don’t know
who you are, Matey, but you got the
crookedest look I ever saw in any
man’s eye? I knowed right then me
and you was going to get along the
best.”
“I'll write you love letters from Bos-
ton,” Taylor promised.
“Well, if we gotta part, we gotta,”
Powdah sighed.
Taylor stared into the booth across
the way. A solitary man sat drawing
his fingers through candleflame. His
moist face was pearled with sweat, his
cavernous eye gleamed. He watched
the flame as if staring at the fires in
some jewel. Taylor's eye came back
to the candle-flame on his own table.
He dipped his fingers in it and gave a
little yelp of pain, and put the burned
fingers deep into Powdah’s mug of ale.
“You can go nutty on me if you
want to,” Powdah said, “and I'll love
you like a brother just the same. It
makes 'me no neverminds.”
“He must have fingers like a horse's
hoof,” Taylor said. :
“Or like a certain party's
strike me blind.”
“Fair enough, you mug,”
said.
“Good bye, then,” Powdah blubbered,
and embraced hig tall friend clumsily,
falling half across him.
“Break away, will you?” Taylor yell-
ed. “I've got to buy my ticket, I tell
you.”
He stood up, shook Powdah off, and
walked to a little wicket whose sign
said passage fare tmight be arrangea
there on the William Brown.
But now Taylor discovered that his
money had fled on the wings of Pow-
dah’s affectionate embrace,
“Powdah,” he yelled.
Powdah wag gone, but his place in
the booth was taken by Captain Wood-
ley of the Naval Commissioner's of-
fice.
“Marvelous pop-overs here,” Wood-
ley said, biting into one. ‘Have one.”
“Marvellous,” Taylor agreed. He sat
down, forgetting Powdah. “But, Cap-
tain Wioodley, I asked you to 'meet me
here for more than pop-overs.”
“So I assumed.”
heart,
Taylor
“You have not seen the letter of
Paul M. Granley’s which refers to
Tarryton’s services to the slavers?”
“It it exists, Martisel must have
suppressed it,” Woodley said.
“You know why he has suppressed
it. He is marrying a Tarryton.”
“Quite.”
“Let him. 'And here’s my proposi-
tion, Granley is dead, but that need
not be reported to Updike and Mor-
gan, his buyers in Savannah. Sup-
pose, instead, I go to them ag Gran-
ley’s messenger.”
“If you are right and Tarryton is a traitor to his country, | shall not
give ’im the schedule,” Captain Woodley said.
“Why not? Tarryton will come to
you to ask for the new slave-patrol
schedule.”
“That's in the course of his duty,”
Woodley agreed. “But if you are
right, and Tarryton is a traitor to his
country, I shall not give him the sch-
edule.”
“On the contrary—give it to him.”
“Give it to him?”
“Why not?” Taylor whispered. Sup-
pose you were to fall in with this ar-
rangement between Tarryton and my-
self? Nefarious, I agree, but it has its
points. You give Tarryton the sched-
ule, he countersigns it and delivers it
to 'me to give to Updike and Morgan
in Savannah. And with this schedule
goes anoter, supposedly from Gran-
ley, showing the best routes for slave-
ships to take, to avoid these patrol
