But his back was crooked and he had to walk with a lame twist, so I suppose that lion injured his backbone. "I made a queer sound and he listened. He recognized me and swam over to thump his tail on the ground in front of my rock.
"Yet, if I had first served my time as seaman apprentice before being appointed to Annapolis, I might be up on that bridge now, instead of standing supinely by while one seaman apprentice does the navigating and another the bossing."
