[_Clapping her hands delightedly._] Then come along, the danger’s past, I’ve tied a life-line to the mast! [_Exit all running eagerly, the Climber carrying Finn’s coat._] ACT III. SCENE 3 AT SEA: SUNSET _A stormy dark sunset, late in the gloaming. The ship is seen tossing wildly on a tempestuous sea. The Thief is sitting quietly in the stern with her head bowed; her face is invisible. The Carpenter and the Tracker are whimpering on the floor. Finn is alone at the helm, but the waves are driving the boat about at their mercy._ CARPENTER [_Terrified, from bottom of boat._] I don’t believe this boat is sound. TRACKER [_Blubbering with terror._] Boohoo! Boohoo! We’s all going to be drowned! [_Clutches Finn’s legs._] FINN [_Spurning him suddenly._] Be quiet, you fool! [_The Tracker collapses howling in a corner._] CARPENTER Cheer up! You’ll soon be able to keep cool. [_A great shower of spray comes over and drenches them. The Tracker cries despairingly._] CARPENTER [_To Finn._] I had a sense of something due To someone, though I scare kent who, And like a fool I lent my ship to you. Although I made her at my own expense I thought you had a little common sense. Didn’t I tell you she was bound To carry you quite safe and sound From earth to Heaven, if you could handle Her properly. It’s a fair scandal To see the way you hold the tiller. You’ll sink her. Look! You’ll sink and fill her! [_The ship heels and dips, the Tracker yells again, and even the Carpenter gasps and moans._] I thought that she would even carry God back again to earth to tarry. Oh! If she’d had another master Than you, she would have got on faster, But with this God-forsaken mind No other body could I find. TRACKER [_To Carpenter, blubbering._] I’d like to tell you what I think Of you. CARPENTER I jalouse we must sink Our differences for a little; This boat won’t stand it, she’s too brittle. [_The boat gives a wild lurch and appears to founder. Both cry wildly to Finn. The Tracker clutches the Thief’s knees, weeping loudly._] THIEF [_Quietly._] Have patience! FINN [_Looking desperately up to the sky._]
