Jim, who always wanted Navvy to be a dead Indian, looked profoundly sorry. "He's a dead Indian, all right," replied Emett. We rose from our stooping postures and stood around, uncertain and deeply grieved, until a mournful groan from Navvy afforded us much relief. "That's your dead Indian," exclaimed Jones.

Of navigation, Tom Marline, like most seamen not officers, was profoundly ignorant.
