FitzGerald must have been tolerably conversant with the Harwich and Felixstowe mariners with the "salwagers" of the "Ship-wash" and the characters of the pilots and fishermen of the east coast. But Posh seems to have come to him as something new. How it happened it is impossible to guess. Posh has no idea. He has a more or less contemptuous appreciation of FitzGerald's great affection for him.
Once again FitzGerald chuckles at the morality of the "salwagers," and chuckles again at the expansiveness of the East Anglian "half a pint," which may mean anything between its nominal measure and the full holding capacity of the drinker which is as vague as "half a pint," itself. The Elsie was a yacht which belonged to a syndicate of Woodbridge yachtsmen, of whom Mr. Manby was another.
