Gallagher stomped on it until it was little more than jam.
Another man, I'm fairly certain, was McGuinness the Stoker, ran past us with one of the things clamped on his face.
He went over the side without a sound.
I ran to the rail to look.
The sea below seethed, filled with the squirming, writhing tentacles of the beasts.
I saw three men bolt for a rowboat.
They were caught and quickly became food for scores of the creatures, their tentacles waving as if excited by the kill.
The beasts seemed to know I was watching.
Half a dozen heads turned, black eyes staring up at me.
Then they moved as one, scrambling up the hull, coming straight for me.
If the Dubliner had not lurched at that precise moment, I would have been taken, for I was so transfixed on the creatures I could not move.
But when the deck tilted, Roberts dragged me aside.
To the stern man, he shouted, and pray the lifeboat is here.
We ran, even as the things clambered up over the gunwales and came after us.
Gallagher, Robert and I were the only men still standing by the time we had reached the stern.
The sight that met us made me fear that I was not going to outlive my old mates by very long.
The sperm whale, the Dubliner's last catch, seemed to be the source of the infection.
Its belly was vastly swollen and distended with a gaping hole in the blubber, and a nest of beasts all fighting escaped from within.
Our path to the lifeboat was blocked by the slithering mass.
We can get to it from below, come up from under, Roberts said.
