Will you take something, sir, any scheedam?" said Vanslyperken, unlocking one of his cupboards, and producing a large stone bottle, and a couple of glasses, which he filled. "This is very good stuff," observed the man; "I'll trouble you for another glass."
At night his mind was troubled, and he dare not lay himself down to rest until he had fortified himself with several glasses of scheedam; even then his dreams frightened him; but he was to be more frightened yet. Corporal Spitter came into the cabin on the third morning with a very anxious face. "Mein Gott! Mynheer Vanslyperken, de whole crew be in de mutinys."
Vanslyperken then tried if he could not make the man intoxicated, and thus obtain better terms; but fifteen glasses of his prime scheedam had no effect further than extorting unqualified praise as it was poured down, and at last Mr Vanslyperken unwillingly consented to the terms, and the bond was signed. "We must weigh at the ebb," said the man, as he put the bond in his pocket.
"Well, depend upon it, I'll behave very liberally." "How much, I ask?" "We'll see to that afterwards; something handsome, depend upon it." "That won't do. Wish you good-evening, sir. Many thanks for the scheedam capital stuff!" and the man rose from his chair.

They assented willingly to the proposal, declaring that if Vanslyperken attempted to hurt the lad, they would rise, and throw Mr Vanslyperken overboard; and everything being arranged, Moggy was about to depart, when Vanslyperken, who was in a state of miserable anxiety and torture, and who had been drowning his conscience in scheedam, came on deck not a little the worse for what he had been imbibing.
O Mr Vanslyperken! see what your favourite was brought to, because you did not come to. At this time Smallbones had his nose in the stone jar of scheedam the olfactory examination was favourable, so he put his mouth to it the labial essay still more so, so he took down a wine glass, and, without any ceremony, filled a bumper, and handed it to Coble.
He poured out a glass, which Vanslyperken drank, and then observed, "How did you know what was in that cupboard sirrah?" "Because you called for it when you were in your fits," replied Smallbones. "Called for scheedam?" "Yes, sir, and said you had lost the carving-knife." "Did I?" replied Vanslyperken, afraid that he had committed himself.
