Gallagher headed forward at a flat run.
The ship's breathing grew harder and more intense, the swaying increased, and the slimy movements all around reinforced the illusion of lungs.
I got to the stairs that led up to the stern just in time to see Gallagher step onto the deck some twelve feet above me.
I flinched, expecting him to be immediately attacked, but all I heard was the whistle of the wind and the roar of water on rocks.
The vessel struck something hard enough to make me lose my footing and drop the brand.
It hit the deck, snuffed out and rolled away.
Somewhere in the shadows I heard another beast move.
I fled up the steps, praying not to be hauled backwards down into the dark.
Gallagher took no notice of me.
He stood staring towards the shore.
The light of Trinity was twinkled in some quarter of a mile distant.
By some miracle, we had made it unscathed through the narrows and were being propelled towards the main harbour.
We can bring her in, Gallagher said, salvage the oil, we can be rich men by the morning.
I was tempted, and I saw it in my mind's eye, the taverns and the whorehouses, overrun by these sea demons, burrowing into drunken flesh, feeding on babes, and the old alike, taking the town by storm.
I could never allow it.
The look on Gallagher's face said that he was lost in greed with no thought for the consequences.
I did the only thing I could think of.
I cracked him in the jaw as hard as I was able.
To my relief, he fell out cold.
Gallagher's a big lad, but I wasn't able to manhandle him onto the rowboat easily enough.
