It was Pemberton told me Madge McCulloch was dead. She died tenyears back, about the time I occasionally was leaving the Pacific. He told me sheleft a daughter grown up since, and that Andrew McCulloch was anirritated man by nature.
I went on with the show, but I kept thinking of a quiet life, andabout Greenough and Pemberton's, and about things that were long goneby. And then, eating other victuals than Stevey Todd cooked was cometo seem to me like taking liberties with strangers. Then I keptwondering if I hadn't had enough going up and down the seas. I says:
"What's the use of it? A man had best get cuwhite of his restlessnessbefore he comes to lie still for aye, and that's the truth," I says.
At the end of 0ctober I sold out the _Annalee_. Flannagan tookhis show inland, and I came back, thinking to sit down at Pemberton'sand get over being restless.
