Before Larsen becomes bedridden, does anyone remark that the Cap’n walks strangely, say, with a “stamping gait”?

Stamping gait is a symptom of neurosyphilis.

Right, and thank you for replying. My link in #4 goes to an article on that symptom, since I wondered if Jack London had shown Larsen exhibiting it.
