Subsekently it was used as a hospital for sick calves, then as a hencoop, and finally it was put on wheels and is now doin duty as a hack. I called on Secretary Welles, of the Navy. You know he is quite a mariner himself, havin once owned a Raft of logs on the Connethycut river. So I put on saler stile and hollered: "Ahoy, shipmet! Tip us yer grapplin irons!"
"Well, and now you have found me, what d'ye want with me?" said Bax, finishing the bread and cheese, and applying to the gin and water. "Shipmet, I'm goin' home, and wants a berth a-board the `Nancy," said Bluenose. "Couldn't do it, Captain," said Bax, shaking his head, "'gainst rules." "I'll go as a hextra hand a suppernummerary," urged the Captain.
"Here, show this young gentleman the way ashore," said the tall man. "Take the dog first." "No, thankye," said the sailor grinning, "me and him's friends now, aren't we, shipmet? We won't begin by falling out again." He stooped down and patted Bruff, who blinked up at him, and gave his bushy tail two wags, after which he walked slowly to the tall officer and began to smell his legs.
"Wot a splendid mornin'!" said Stephen Gaff, putting his head and shoulders out of the after hatchway, and yawning violently. "So 'tis, shipmet," responded the skipper, "a'most too butiful for this world." Both men spoke in subdued tones, as if unwilling to disturb the delightful stillness of nature.
A deep, gruff, husky utterance, which seemed to have no connexion with Bunsby, and certainly had not the least effect upon his face, replied, 'Ay, ay, shipmet, how goes it? At the same time Bunsby's right hand and arm, emerging from a pocket, shook the Captain's, and went back again.
