She called to the pilot to stop the boat and go back for her hat, but the captain, who was up in the pilot-house, stuck out his head and said he reckoned she'd have to wait until they came back.

The hat would hang there for a day or two.

In a little while, she came out on the lower deck, wearing a seal-skin hat.

She brought a stool with her, and put it near the bow of the boat, a little in front and on one side of the box on which Rectus and I were sitting.

Then she sat quietly down and gazed out ahead.
