Cloete

But one day he stops Cloete at the door, with his downcast eyes: What about that employment you wished to give me?

After some talk he agrees to take Cloete on board; supposed to be with an urgent message from the owners to the captain.

As soon as Cloete has set foot on something firm he becomes himself again.

Cloete concluded by remarking that he, had “had enough of the old country.”
