I'm too old now; I was a flash pirate once, but I'm now nearly eighty, and am only fit for a mudlarker." "But," exclaimed I, with astonishment, "are they not discovered and punished?"
A mudlarker was a man who had an old boat, generally sold by some merchant vessel, furnished with an iron bar full of hooks, which was lowered down by a rope to catch pieces of cordage, oakum, canvas or other articles, which might fall overboard from the numerous vessels in the river; these were sold to the marine stores, such as were kept by old Nanny.
In fact, I had not been considered strong enough, or of an age to be useful to them, but now that I was more than thirteen years old being, moreover, very tall and strong for my age the hour of temptation arrived; and fortunate was it for me that, previous to this epoch, I had been taken under the protection of Peter Anderson. I have said in a former chapter that I was a regular mudlarker.
