It ain't that, Annie. Them skippers would never dare sneer to my face. It ain't so much what any one'd say—but— you see—I've always done it—since my first voyage as skipper. I always come back—with a full ship—and—it don't seem right not to—somehow. I been always first whalin' skipper out o' Homeport, and—don't you see my meanin', Annie? Annie! Best turn in, Annie, there's a good woman. You ain't well. Mrs. Keeney. David! Won't you please turn back?
