The police were taking some one with them down the street.

As they passed, she saw by the light of the street-lamp for a moment that it was Salve.

He was resisting with all his might, pale and infuriated, with his blue shirt all torn open in the front, and there was an expression in his face that--at any rate, she slept no more that night.
There had been a general _melee_, she heard next morning, among the sailors over in Mother Andersen's, on the other side of the harbour.

It was said that knives had been used, and that Salve Kristiansen had been the originator of the whole disturbance--without a shadow of protest, Carl Beck said; and proceeded then to put various interpretations of his own upon the affair.

Elizabeth left the room, and for some days after was pale and worn-looking, and more than usually reserved, Carl thought, in her attitude towards himself.
Captain Beck had paid Salve's fine and procured his release, and the afternoon before the Juno was to sail his father and younger brother came on board to say good-bye to him.
