I gives a kick, down comes the bucket and half drowns me. Gosh, how those girls did laugh!" "H'm!" said Mahony dubiously; while Purdy in his turn chewed the cud of a pleasant memory. "Well, I for my part should be glad to see you married and settled, with a good wife always beside you." "That's just the rub," said Purdy, and vigorously scratched his head.
"Take my advice and dip your hands in the tar bucket without delay, and don't shirk anything the mate puts you to. My father is pretty gruff now and then, but old Growl is a regular rough one. He does not say much to me, but you will have to look out for squalls. Come, we had better go on deck, or old Growl will think that I have been putting you up to mischief.
