Powell nodded in my direction he became very quiet and gave me a long stare. Then he stooped to Mr. Powell's ear I suppose he imagined he was whispering, but I heard him well enough. "Looks very respectable." "Certainly," says the shipping-master quite calm and staring all the time at me. "His name's Powell." "Oh, I see!" says the skipper as if struck all of a heap.
At length, according to his own account, being desirous of returning home, he went to a shipping-office, where the shipping articles of the California were open. Upon asking where the ship was going, he was told by the shipping-master that she was bound to California. Not knowing where that was, he told him that he wanted to go to Europe, and asked if California was in Europe.

The first man to climb the Almena's side-ladder from the tug was the shipping-master, and after him came the crew he had shipped. They clustered at the rail, looking around and aloft with muttered profane comments, one to the other, while the shipping-master approached a gray-eyed giant who stood with a shorter but broader man at the poop-deck steps. "Mr.
Jackson the mate here, I s'pose?" inquired the shipping-master. A nod answered him. "I've brought you a good crew," he continued; "we'll just tally 'em off, and then you can sign my receipt. The captain'll be down with the pilot this afternoon." "I'm the mate yes," said the giant; "but what dry-goods store did you raid for that crowd? Did the captain pick 'em out?"
Archie's the most sensitive shipping-master in the two hemispheres. He declares he felt as though he had thrown a man to a hungry lion. No doubt the noise was great. I heard it down below, and I have every reason to believe it was heard clear across the Esplanade as far as the band-stand. Old father Elliot had a great stock of words and could shout and didn't mind who he shouted at either.
