“From this point the conversation took a special turn relatingexclusively to sea-life. On that subject he got quickly in touchwith Marlow who in his time had followed the sea. They keptup a lively exchange of reminiscences while I listened. Theyagreed that the happiest time in their lives was as youngstersin good ships, with no care in the world but not to lose a watchbelow when at sea and not a moment’s time in going ashoreafter work hours when in harbour. They agreed also as to theproudest moment they had known in that calling which isnever embraced on rational and practical grounds, because ofthe glamour of its romantic associations. It was the momentwhen they had passed successfully their first examination andleft the seamanship Examiner with the little precious slip ofblue paper in their hands.”
