SCENE--_Dawn of the following morning--exterior of the_ BARTLETT _home, showing the main entrance, facing left, toward the harbor. On either side of the door, two large windows, their heavy green shutters tightly closed. In front of the door, a small porch, the roof supported by four white column. A flight of three steps goes up to this porch from the ground. Two paths lead to the steps through the straggly patches of grass, one around the corner of the house to the rear, the other straight to the left to the edge of the cliff where there is a small projecting iron platform, fenced in by a rail. The top of a steel ladder can be seen. This ladder leads up the side or the cliff from the shore below to the platform. The edge of the cliff extends from the left corner front, half-diagonally back to the right, rear-center._ _In the grey half-light of the dawn_, HORNE, CATES, _and_ JIMMY KANAKA _are discovered_. HORNE _is standing on the steel platform looking down at the shore below_. CATES _is sprawled on the ground nearby_. JIMMY _squats on his haunches, his eyes staring out to sea as if he were trying to pierce the distance to the warm islands of his birth_. CATES _wears dungarees_, JIMMY _dungaree pants and a black jersey_; HORNE, _the same as in_ ACT TWO. CATES--[_With sluggish indifference._] Ain’t she finished with it yet? HORNE--[_Irritably._] No, damn her! I kin see ’em all together on the wharf at the bow o’ the schooner. That old crow o’ a woman o’ his! Why the hell don’t she christen her and be done with it and let us make sail? CATES--[_After a pause._] Funny, ain’t it--his orderin’ us to come up here and wait till it’s all done. HORNE--[_Angrily._] That’s her doin’, too. She thinks we ain’t good enough to be where she is. [_After a pause._] But there’s nothin’ funny to me that he does no more. He’s still out o’ his head, d’ye know that, Cates? CATES--[_Stupidly._] I ain’t noticed nothin’ diff’rent ’bout him. HORNE--[_Scornfully._] He axed me if I ever seen them two in my sleep--that cook and the boy o’ the Triton. Said he did often. CATES--[_Immediately protesting uneasily as if he had been accused._] They was with us in the boat b’fore we fetched the island, that’s all ’bout ’em I remember. I was crazy, after. HORNE--[_Looking at him with contempt._] So was we all crazy, for the matter o’ that. I’ll not call ye a liar, Cates, but--a hell o’ a man ye be! You wasn’t so out o’ your head that ye forgot the gold, was ye? CATES--[_His eyes glistening._] That’s diff’rent. Any man’d remember that, even if he was crazy.
