"Beloved brethren in project!" he began, gesticulating with two Chinese chop-sticks. "Brute! Keep that chop-stick out of my hair!" cried his neighbor. "Called by you to fill the void that has been left in " "Plagiarism!" Sandoval interrupted him. "That speech was delivered by the president of our lyceum."
"They don't eat babies, do they?" said Jack, dipping his chop-stick into the tureen placed before them, and producing a limb of some creature which certainly had a very odd appearance. "No, I fancy not," answered Murray, "but we had better not ask questions."
Chop-stick Charlie was the name Blood had christened the coolie who acted as steward and cabin hand. He called him now, and out of the opium-tinctured gloom of the fo'c'sle Charlie appeared, received his orders and led them to the lazaret.
