Before the two boats from the Mailfast were sucked down, and 'fore the crew was fair starved, a sudden shift of wind broke up the seaweed field and they escaped and were picked up.
"When the Mailfast burned the sea was calm; but in six hours a sudden gale came up and drove the two boats into the southwest. They wasn't provisioned or watered for a long v'y'ge, and they had to run for it a full week, ev'ry mile reeled off takin' them further an' further from the islands, and further and further off the reg'lar course of shipping."
Look at what happened the crew of the Mailfast, clipper built, out o' Baltimore an' that was when you an' I, Cap'n Joab, was sharpenin' our milk teeth on salt hoss."

"Both," replied Cap'n Amazon unruffled.
