She whispered: “Please. Say nothing more. Let no-one suspect what you know. There is a lighthouse-man on Sule Skerry. Every three months he arranges for a ship to deliver provisions. This time, the Kraken will be making the delivery. Arrange to be among the crew of the boat. Try to speak with him alone.”

“Why?” asked the selkie. “Is he one of us?”

The girl of the Grey Seal clan shook her head. “I cannot tell you more,” she said. “His story is not mine to tell. But do as I say, and you may hear it. Till then, be humble, and bide your time, until your sealskin is back in your hands.”

And with that, the Grey Seal girl left the ship and slipped back gratefully into her skin, leaving the selkie wide awake, and in a way that he had never been, not since the day he had found himself stranded on the lonely beach, naked and with no memory.

And next morning, when he returned to the crew, he spoke not a word to anyone, but was humble and obedient, so that even the canny gunnerman believed that he had learnt his lesson, and would cause him no further shame.
