His hair was thick and close cut to his head, dark, and if the least bit gray about the edges, requiring close scrutiny to prove it so.

In color his skin was dark, sunburned beyond tan, almost to parchment dryness.

His eyes were gray, the most remarkable eyes that I have ever seen--calm, emotionless, direct, the most fearless eyes I have ever seen in mortal head, and I have looked into many men's eyes in my time.

He was taller than most men, I think above the six feet line.

His figure was thin, his limbs thin, his hands and feet slender.
