My name is Harper.
I'm first mate of the South Sea schooner Evening Star.
I'm writing this because I believe it my duty to make some record of the terrible things which have just occurred.
Events I can't possibly enter in the ship's log.
I can't, of course, be certain this account will ever come to light, because I'm not likely to live another 24 hours.
I guess I should have been able to see it three weeks ago, on the day we sailed from San Francisco, but I didn't.
I remember I was standing on the deck of the Evening Star, talking to Cato, the cook, while we waited for Captain Burgess to come aboard.
We were due to sail in a half hour.
Where you think we go on this trip, Mr. Harper?
Oh, I don't know, Cato.
It's good to leave port.
It's better on open sea.
You said it.
Will seem very strange this trip without Captain Darrell.
Yeah.
We'd had the same gang together for over two years.
Some Kanakas, and the crew, you and I and Burgess, Darrell.
Hard to believe he's been dead four months now, isn't it?
Yes, yes.
Captain Darrell was proud man.
Was good captain.
It's too bad he died.
Yeah.
Well, Burgess will make a good skipper, too.
