When I was fairly floored, "Now, my man," said Adversity, "I bear no spite; if you will but listen to my boy there, we shall be good friends still. He is never unreasonable.
I should think you would know better than to circulate such yarns about the ship," he declared in some heat. "We didn't say a word about it," Frenchy denied. "Only to you and Torry. Seven Knott started the row, not us." "And he ought to be keelhauled for it," growled Torry.
I'll be keelhauled if it don't make me feel a little creepy. That is," he corrected himself quickly, "it would if I believed in them things." "Well, now that we know you don't believe in them," said Captain Hamilton, with the faintest possible touch of sarcasm, "and since our young friend here is able to read this paper, suppose we go to it." "You bet we'll go to it!" cried Tyke eagerly.
"If he didn't hear that, he's deaf as a post," added Perth, as the professor passed on. "He'll leave the ship as soon as we have keelhauled him," was the next remark which Mr. Hamblin heard. Of course this meant himself; and he paused when he had satisfied himself that he was not observed.
"Just what your father said, Nat. Why can't you marry Grace? She's a dear, good girl and " "That be keelhauled! Keziah Coffin, you sit there and ask me why I can't marry her! YOU do?" "Yes, Nat."

And I had one especially picked for you! Ordinarily, you've a tolerably keen eye. Didn't it strike you odd to land a crew who talked more or less grammatically, who were clean bodily, who weren't boozers?"
But I could have keelhauled the wretch, bell and all, when he came to the door of the little hotel where my prospective audience and I were dining, and with his clattering bell and fiendish yell made noises that would awake the dead, all over the voyage of the Spray from "Boston to Bowen, the two Hubs in the cart-wheels of creation," as the "Boomerang" afterward said.

He inveighed bitterly against the ingratitude of Peregrine, whom he mentioned with many opprobrious epithets, and swore that he ought to be keelhauled for his presumption; but when he began to reflect more coolly upon the spirit of the young gentleman, which had already manifested itself on many occasions, and listened to the suggestions of Hatchway, whom he had always considered as an oracle in his way, his resentment abated, and he determined to take Perry into favour again; this placability being not a little facilitated by Jack's narrative of our hero's intrepid behaviour at the assembly, as well as the contest with him in the park.
