The man called Joe Dermot paid his score , and went away . The captain and his factotum retired to the two dingy little apartments which were to accommodate them for the night .

The captain of the ` Pizarro ' left his room at five o'clock , and tapped at Joyce Marker 's door with the intention of bidding him goodbye . `` I 'm off , Joyce , '' he said ; `` be sure you keep your eye upon the repairs between this and the fifth . '' He was prepared to receive a drowsy answer ; but to his surprise the door was opened , and Joyce stood dressed upon the threshold . `` I 'm coming to the coach-office with you , captain , '' answered Harker .
