It sounded like a grind-organ on a city street.... The Sunshine of Paradise Alley. And the captain's voice was booming along with the melody. I peeked into Schantze's cabin to announce breakfast. He had a huge music box there. And he was singing to its playing, and dancing clumsily about like a happy young mammoth. "Spying on the 'old man, eh?"
"The English custom's officer who comes aboard here is an old friend of Schantze's, and a teetotaler ... so the captain always treats him to soda water." "But Karl and I have drunk it all up already," I confessed slowly. "You'll both catch a good hiding then when he calls for it and finds there is none." The next day the customs man came aboard. "Have a drink, Mr. Wollaston?" Schantze asked him.
The Lord Summerville, which had, after all, beat us in by two days, despite Captain Schantze's boast, was lying on the other side of our dock. And her mate and several sailors thus became witnesses of what happened.
