When did ever a gentleman o' fortune show his stern to that much dollars, for a boosy old seaman with a blue mug and him dead, too?" But there was no sign of re-awakening courage in his followers; rather, indeed, of growing terror at the irreverence of his words. "Belay there, John!" said Merry. "Don't you cross a sperrit." And the rest were all too terrified to reply.
While still suffering from the effects of the tipple, he resolved to drink no more; but pledges made in the heat of intoxication are not the most hopeful ones.

A handful of boosy wretches are bundled into the forecastle, and as many more rolled, dead-drunk, into their bunks, to sleep off their last spree. The mates are set to the task of dragooning into order the unruly mass. Half the men have spent their advance, and mean to run as soon as the ship arrives.
"Mein gracious!" he said. "Dot iss a sdrange ting dot haff happened mit you, Sharlie," he said, in a wondering, small voice. "Sharlie!" he called. "Sharlie!" The Missing Link gave no reply. "Pless mein soul!" gasped the Dutchman. Suddenly a gleam of intelligence shot through the publican's boosy gloom.
