M r. Otis Gill had
take a liking to
Forbes. But he
changed his opinion when the
Champion began to buck the
choppy seas of the open Atlantic.
She was not a large liner, and the
waves were running high. Arthur
Forbes turned away suddenly and,
clutching the deck rail for sup
port shaped an unsteady course for
the companionway.
M r. Gill burst into guffaws of
laughter.
“Seasick!” he said, addressing a
young couple nearby and nodding
to w a rd

companionw a y.
“Should

and tended to

The young couple smiled politely
but with a lack of enthusiasm.
Neither of them felt equal to the
task of getting up and following on
young Arthur Forbes’ heels.
The dining salon was located be
neath the forward deck; M r. G ill’s
table was at the extreme end, near
that section where the vessel's bow
began to narrow. He had hardly
seated himself when he saw that
young Arthur Forbes was placed
two tables away and slightly be
hind. There was a plate of food on
the table before the youth, but it
was untouched. Like one In a trance
Mr. Forbes was sitting with eyes
widened
greatly
beyond
their
normal size, cheeks as pale as
death.
After a time M r. Gill saw
that the youth at the other
table was staring toward a
port-hole, and his grin broad
ened. The port-hole was lo
cated far forward, and with
each dip of the vessel one could
see the entire slope of a wave,
from trough to crest. Then for
a space there would be nothing
but open sky.
It provided a
sensation sim ilar to riding on
a roller coaster.
M r. Gill knew that as long as
young Forbes continued to stare
through the port-hole his seasick
ness would steadily grow worse.
And he chuckled at the thought.
After a while M r. Gill found It
was easier to stare straight ahead
than to sit half-turned in his chair
in order to watch young Forbes,
who, after all, wasn't the most
pleasing sight in the world. And In
staring straight ahead M r. Gill
found that he was looking directly
through the porthole at the swish
ing seas.

Mr. Gill was sober now; his face
pale; his eyes glassy. Realization
of what was happening to him came
like a shock. He was seasick!
Helplessly, miserably ill. Never in
his life could M r. Gill remember
