They looked more like dog-kennels than any thing else; especially as the place was so gloomy and dark; no light coming down except through the fore and after hatchways, both of which were covered with little houses called "booby-hatches." Upon the main-hatches, which were well calked and covered over with heavy tarpaulins, the "passengers-gattey" was solidly lashed down.
The carpenter proposed, therefore, that the main-hatches, which had been off when the tornado occurred, but which had been found on deck when the vessel righted, should now be put on, oakum being first laid along in their rabbetings, and that the cracks should be stuffed with additional oakum, to exclude as much water as possible.
Jones' again after bidding them good-by; it would be so awkward. So I concluded to go on board ship for the present. When I reached the deck, I saw no one but a large man in a large dripping pea-jacket, who was calking down the main-hatches. "What do you want, Pillgarlic?" said he. "I've shipped to sail in this ship," I replied, assuming a little dignity, to chastise his familiarity.
