Authors: Stevie Prescott
I was surprised by the cabin I was led to. Somehow, in my mind, I was expecting a set of chains in the dunnage below. Yet it was a pleasant berth, small but opulent, with the same draping cloth and cushions as the stern above. There was a tiny window with the same squares of colored glass, but I could see little from it, since the gangway of the deck outside it was crowded with seamen. Within the half hour, one of my trunks containing some of my things was tossed into the cabin after me, somehow putting a final stamp on my consignment. This time, when the guard left me, I heard it, since he made it quite deliberately, the sound of the cabin door being locked.
The shadows cleared from the cabin floor, the men on deck outside called elsewhere. I ran to peer through the window, facing away from the lee side toward the bay, and watched in the distance as my captain was rowed back to his ship, collapsed in the boat. I knew I would never see him again. How incomprehensible that, despite my own dire predicament, and his part in causing it, I felt a hollow, sickening lurch in my stomach over this intuitive certainty. Meanwhile, my father's coffee, and everything in both holds, was being off-loaded to this ship.
As I had been. I was now the property of the Padishah Sultan, Guardian of the Sublime Porte, Allah's Shadow on the Earth.
