He sees two women knitting black wool before the Company doctor measures his cranium. Described as a "Buddha preaching in European clothes," this character compares his interest in a river with a snake's fascination with a bird, and begins his story by discussing Roman citizens who feel "the utter savagery" closing around them during their invasion of England. He tells that story to the Lawyer, the Accountant, and the Director of Companies on the return trip of the Nellie, and describes seeing a row of severed heads on stakes, which signify the madness of a man known for extracting tons of ivory from the natives. FTP, name this sailor who travels up the Congo and encounters Kurtz, the narrator of Heart of Darkness.
