Well, one night, a'ter work was over, Ben goes on shore to the house where he and Poll used to sleep; and when he sees the girl in the bar, he says, `Where is Poll? Now, the girl at the bar was a fresh-comer, and answers, `What girl? So Ben describes her, and the bar-girl answers, `She be just gone to bed with her husband, I suppose; for, you see, there was a woman like her who had gone up to her bed, sure enough.

When she almost turned mad with rage, and then as white as a sheet, and then she burst into tears, and runs out of the house, crying out, `Poor misfortunate creature that I am! knocking everything down undersized, and running into the arms of every man who came athwart her hawse."
