Sit down, the lot of you, and leave the tea alone until I've finished, because Aunt Nell took the pot to bed and she'll have my ears if it's cold. Right. You've all been asking why the clock in the Gull House hall has no hands on the side facing the harbour. I'll tell you.

Nell Trewin kept the watch for the Mary Ann Dodd's crew for thirty winters, and she kept it with her eyes shut. Not sleeping, mind. She said the lights of Porthcadan lied to a woman who looked at them, that a lantern in a window could pass for a boat and a boat could pass for nothing at all. So she sat on the harbour wall with her lids pressed down and listened. The rope creaking on the bollards. The keel grinding on the shingle. Tom Pascoe's cough, which was a wet thing you could pick out from a mile off.

The winter the Dodd went out with nine aboard, Nell heard eight come back. She counted them twice with her eyes screwed tight, and the eighth step was wrong, too light, a boot with no nail in its heel. She opened her eyes then, which she had sworn never to do on watch, and the harbour was black and empty and full of gulls.

Nobody ever found the ninth man. But every night after that, Nell sat on the wall and listened for that light boot, and when it came up the slipway she would say, there you are, love, and go home to bed.
