Henshaw answered coldly: "There's no need for us to act the hypocrite, eh?"
McTee hesitated, and then grinned: "Not a bit. I know what you did twenty years ago in the Solomons."
"And I know the story of you and the pearl divers."
"That's enough."
"Quite."
"And Harrigan?"
"As a favor to you, McTee, I'll break him. Maybe you'll be interested in my methods."
"Try mine first. I made him scrub down the bridge with suds every morning, and while his hands were puffed and soft, I sent him down to the fireroom to pass coal."
"He'll kill you someday."
"If he can."
