Whether David Dubbs, such was he called, derived the power of writing from his mouth; or whether the gentle excitation of moving his lips over toothless gums assisted thought; or whether, as some said, he chewed tobacco, a position which nobody ever held long, as nobody ever proved him to have expectorated during his whole life; his mouth always closed moved up and down, up and down, with the motion of his pen.
"Six," I said, nervously, quite uneasy at Mr Doubleday's sudden seriousness. "Six in two hours that's three an hour." "Quite right; not bad for Dubbs, that, is it, Crow?" put in Wallop. "No. He's reckoned it up right this time." "I wish you'd reckon it up right now and then," retorted Doubleday. "How about the change out of those two handkerchiefs?"

The third time Walter himself had a tug, and was in the act of hauling up Dubbs, when he became conscious that the boat was rocking very violently, and he felt rather surprised that he was not seasick.
