I find J.B. has not returned to his business, though I wrote him how necessary it was. My pity begins to give way to anger. Must he sit there and squander his thoughts and senses upon cloudy metaphysics and abstruse theology till he addles his brains entirely, and ruins his business? I have written to him again, letter third and, I am determined, last.
But to the honor of our fishermen it may be said that such blunders in plain navigation have been exceedingly rare, and as much owing to a free circulation of the fiery liquid, which addles men's brains, as to sheer ignorance.

"Odds, but that is no such trip as I would seek after, yet needs must if the devil drives," I said.

He has dropped my hand, as if he disliked the touch of it. "No, thanks, no. I have no headache," he answers, hastily.
