The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Rescue by Joseph Conrad: brig was going there to help did not by any means assuage his
alarm. The fact only served to complicate his uneasiness with a
sense of mystery.
The white man who spoke as if that sea was all his own, or as if
people intruded upon his privacy by taking the liberty of getting
wrecked on a coast where he and his friends did some queer
business, seemed to him an undesirable helper. That the boat had
been lowered to communicate with the praus seen and avoided by
him in the evening he had no doubt. The thought had flashed on
him at once. It had an ugly look. Yet the best thing to do after
all was to hang on and get back to the yacht and warn them. . . .
