The poor half-tipsy captain had no relish to go a-pirating under the command of his backsliding mate, so out of the ship he bundled, and away he rowed with four or five of the crew, who, like him, refused to join with their jolly shipmates.
We hear them before they are seen, and it is always the same dreadful song: 'Avast belay, yo ho, heave to, A-pirating we go, And if we're parted by a shot We're sure to meet below! A more villainous-looking lot never hung in a row on Execution dock.

"I know it!" answered Jimmy, with conviction. And I recalled, though he did not, the fact that he bathed daily, Lafitte weekly, yet no gulf was fixed between their portions of the general humanity. "It must be nice to be rich," ventured Lafitte presently. "I'm going to be, some day." "Is that why you go a-pirating?" I smiled. "Maybe. But mostly, because I like it."
