This'n's the Cock-ot. Happen you've heard tell of her. That'n's the Cock-it. Sister-ships. And 'ot and 'it they'll be afoor long if I can make em so." He spun the wheel discreetly. "At dawn I found em atween me and Newhaven. So I went about; I wasn't on the fightin lay half my ship's company short, and this here in my pocket for Nelson." He tapped his breast.
