Monsieur Philippe, the banker's son, even carried his forgetfulness so far, as to send a special messenger to Monsieur Tournevau, who was in the boson of his family. The fish-curer used every Sunday to have several cousins to dinner, and they were having coffee, when a man came in with a letter in his hand.
However, I'll tell you what; I will speak to the captain about it, and he steps inside the bulkhead and writes a message to the skipper. "Now our skipper was a good old soul, and thought a lot of his boson, and wanted to do everything he could to help him out, but also, like a good many other good old captains in the service, he'd forgotten a lot of this stuff about regulations.
A pity, our boson thought, to subject our nice new hose to that kind of abuse, when in the condemned heap on the dock there was a length of hose that would do the work, and he put it up to Mr. Renner, the officer of the deck at the time. "Now Mr. Renner was a new-made ensign, and we all of us here been long enough in the service to know how it is about a middy that's just got his commission.
And sucks three pipefuls, and takes a cruise down the passageway and has a chat with his old-time shipmates, the boson and the gunner. The boson was Mr. Kiley, the same old boson of the Savannah, been with the Old Man when he was a middy in sailing-ship days couldn't lose each other.
He brings out the blue-book and shows the boson. 'Look, he says. 'Paragraph fourteen thousand four hundred and forty-two, or whatever it was. 'Hose, he goes on to read, 'is expendible property, to be surveyed and wiped off the property-books by condemning to the scrap-heap and sold in the open market to the highest bidder. There, says our new-made ensign to our boson, 'what it says.
The passenger, who knew the big man for the boson, gazed up the dock also and saw that it was the pump-man coming; and he was singing cheerily as he came: "Our ship she was alaborin' in the Gulf o' Mexico, The skipper on the quarter " Usually it is only the drunks who come over the side of an oil-tanker singing, but this was no drunk.
She was unable to afford proper nourishment to her child, which languished from day to day, and the only strong desire left to her was that she might survive long enough to see it fairly out of the world. Such was the sad tale poured into the sympathetic ears of Mrs. Savareen, as she knelt there with the poor creature's head against her boson.
"Not on this ship, you won't, 'less you sing it in your sleep and me not in hearin'." "I'll finish it on this ship, son. And it won't be in my sleep and you'll be within hearing." A group of deck-hands snickered, and the boson pretended to climb down from the rigging. "You swine! What the " They retreated in terror. "It wasn't at you we was laffin', boson."
"We were making ready to pipe water into our ship, when Mr. Kiley, our boson, always a forehanded chap, thought it all a pity to have to use our bran-new hose for that kind of work. You all know how hose gets lying chafing around with people stepping on it, carts and wagons running over it, coal-dust grinding into it, and so on.
"Oh, you are breaking my heart with this neglect of your true interests! And it is all the doing of these three vile images, which you value more than the old throne of Boson and Rothbold, and oceans more than you do me!" "Come, I did not say that." "Yes, and you think, too, a deal more about that dead heathen servant girl than you do about me, who am a princess and the heir to a kingdom."
