I saw a long spyglass lying on a desk in one of the upper-deck state-rooms back of the pilot-house and reached after it there was a ship in the distance. "Ah, ah hands off! Come out of that!" I came out of that. I said to a deck-sweep but in a low voice: "Who is that overgrown pirate with the whiskers and the discordant voice?" "It's Captain Bursley executive officer sailing master."

I sought the deck-sweep. "Who is that spider-legged gorilla yonder with the sanctimonious countenance?" "It's Captain Jones, sir the chief mate." "Well. This goes clear away ahead of anything I ever heard of before. Do you now I ask you as a man and a brother do you think I could venture to throw a rock here in any given direction without hitting a captain of this ship?"
