I was ignorant of the simplest duties of mate and would have fared badly indeed had the sailors not sympathized with me. I knew nothing of the minutiae of ropes and rigging of the trimming and setting of sails but the sailors took pains to put me to rights - Louis proving an especially good teacher - and I had little trouble with those under me. With the hunters it was otherwise. Familiar in varying degree with the sea they took me as a sort of joke. In truth it was a joke to me that I the veriest landsman should be filling the office of mate but to be taken as a joke by others was a different matter. I made no complaint but Wolf Larsen demanded the most punctilious sea etiquette in my case - far more than poor Johansen had ever received and at the expense of several rows threats and much grumbling he brought the hunters to time. I was Mr. Van Weyden fore and aft and it was only unofficially that Wolf Larsen himself ever addressed me as Hump. It was amusing. Perhaps the wind would haul a few points while we were at dinner and as I left the table he would say Mr. Van Weyden will you kindly put about on the port tack. And I would go on deck beckon Louis to me and learn from him what was to be done. Then a few minutes later having digested his instructions and thoroughly mastered the manoeuvre I would proceed to issue my orders. I remember an early instance of this kind when Wolf Larsen appeared on the scene just as I had begun to give orders. He smoked his cigar and looked on quietly till the thing was accomplished and then paced aft by my side along the weather poop. Hump he said I beg pardon Mr. Van Weyden I congratulate you. I think you can now fire your father s legs back into the grave to him. You ve discovered your own and learned to stand on them. A little rope-work sailmaking and experience with storms .
