As they're not sailors, I mean to disrate them to boys at five dollars a month. That's the allotment you get, if you care to sue for it; but I told the tug captain to notify the owners to pay no allotment notes." "Ye did?" spluttered Murphy. "Well, Williams, I'll sue, don't ye fear. I'll sue." "That's as may be," said Williams, coldly.
Owner can fire captain but only captain can fire or disrate ship's officers. Besides I shipped for the round trip. Peasley. "Well," said Cappy, "what do you know about that? He clings to us like a barnacle or a poor relation and the worst of it is the damned sea lawyer is absolutely right. We have no authority to fire him, Skinner.
But I hope you'll take care of the rest of my crew, and not disrate them after I am dead in favour of new followers. As for that young woman, Ned Gauntlet's daughter, I am informed as how she's an excellent wench, and has a respect for you; whereby if you run her on board in an unlawful way, I leave my curse upon you, and trust you will never prosper in the voyage of life.

Allison said, "and I shall have to ask Mr. Hethcote to disrate you, and get some one here who is not a born idiot. Here, take this horrible mess away! Pour the contents of your plates back into the pot, boys, and put the plates together.
I don't mind your knocking the lad down, and I daresay Leigh would forgive you for that, too; but what I am indignant at is the fact of your telling such a gross lie about the transaction, and allowing me to take an unjust view of the quarrel making me disrate the young fellow, and punish him as I did, under a false, impression of what his conduct had been, all of which a word from you might have altered!
I'll disrate you, by God, you damned molly mop; is that the way you handle a cat? that's only wiping the dirt off his back. Where's the boatswain?" "Here," said a stout, gigantic, left-handed fellow, stepping forward, with a huge blue uniform coat and a plain anchor button, holding his hat in his left hand, and stroking his hair down his forehead with his right.
In your cablegram received to-day, you take occasion to remind us that no manager or owner has authority to disrate a ship's officer. This is quite true. Such authority is vested only in the master of the ship. You need have no fear for your job, however.
