I could not lift him directly into a bunk, but with Maud's help I lifted first his shoulders and head, then his body, balanced him across the edge, and rolled him into a lower bunk.
But this was not to be all.

I recollected the handcuffs in his state-room, which he preferred to use on sailors instead of the ancient and clumsy ship irons.

So, when we left him, he lay handcuffed hand and foot.

For the first time in many days I breathed freely.

I felt strangely light as I came on deck, as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
