One of the boys I have mentioned was named John Pugh, a little fellow the captain had taken as an apprentice in London, and who was now at sea for the first time in his life. We had a long passage. Every inch of the way to the Downs was tide-work. Here we lay several days, waiting far a wind.
Do I understand you to ask a pound for taking a pull at your master's pipe?" "I'm thinking that I'll have to make it two." "The deuce you are! Here, Pugh, lend me a pound." "I'm afraid I've left my purse behind." "Then lend me ten shillings Ananias!" "I doubt if I have more than five." "Then give me the five. And, Brasher, lend me the other fifteen."
