But the glory clung to him; he was a plain sailor-man, he said, but he could never long allow you to forget that he had been a banker. His mate, Elias Goddedaal, was a huge Viking of a man, six feet three, and of proportionate mass, strong, sober, industrious, musical, and sentimental. He ran continually over into Swedish melodies, chiefly in the minor.
If that's a man-of-war, she'll be in a tearing hurry; all these ships are what don't do nothing and have their expenses paid. That's our chance; for we'll go with them, and they won't take the time to look twice or to ask a question. I'm Captain Trent; Carthew, you're Goddedaal; Tommy, you're Hardy; Mac's Brown; Amalu hold hard! we can't make a Chinaman of him!
We print a list of the survivors: Jacob Trent, master, of Hull, England; Elias Goddedaal, mate, native of Christiansand, Sweden; Ah Wing, cook, native of Sana, China; John Brown, native of Glasgow, Scotland; John Hardy, native of London, England.
"Hullo! here's worse yet, here's this Goddedaal up to date; he must have filled it in before supper. See for yourself: 'Smoke observed. Captain Kirkup and five hands of the schooner Currency Lass.

"If we are right, not one of them will reach his journey's end. And do you mean to say that such a circumstance as that can pass without remark?" "Sailors," said the captain, "only sailors!
And here, it seems, he was close up with this island on the sixth, sails all these days, and is close up with it again by daylight on the eleventh."

He sits, and smokes, and giggles, and sometimes he makes small jests; but his contributions to the art of pleasing are generally confined to looking like a gentleman and being one.

Our porter helped to put them on, but they drove the cart themselves. The porter thinks they went down town. It was about one." "Still in time for the City of Pekin," observed Jim. "How many of them were here?" I inquired. "Three, sir, and the Kanaka," replied the clerk. "I can't somehow fin out about the third, but he's gone too." "Mr. Goddedaal, the mate, wasn't here then?" I asked. "No, Mr.
Wicks was amazed, but he naturally ventured no remark; and a little after, the six Currency Lasses sat down with Trent and Goddedaal to a spread of marmalade, butter, toast, sardines, tinned tongue, and steaming tea.
