"Never mind Jemmy's wife, let's have Jemmy's song," said Spurey; "he hasn't piped since he was pulled up by the corporal." "No: he put my pipe out, the hippopotamus. Well, I'll give it you it shall be about what we are talking of, Obadiah." Jemmy perched himself on the fore-end of the booms, and sang as follows:
"Hurrah! my lads, then," cried Bill Spurey; "now, then, strike up, Jemmy, and let us give it lots of mouth."
Very good song, and very well sung, Jolly companions every one; Put your hats on to keep your beads warm, A little more grog will do us no harm. "Hurrah! Now, Bill Spurey, suppose you tip us a stave. But I say, Babette, you Dutch-built galliot, tell old Frank Slush to send us another dose of the stuff; and, d'ye hear, a short pipe for me, and a paper o' baccy."
Now I'll just go down and see if my bag be to be found, and then I'll dress myself like a Christian." The cutter flew before the breeze which was on her quarter, and now that the hanging was over the females came on deck. One of the Jesuit priests was a good surgeon, and attended to the wounded men, who all promised to do well, and as Bill Spurey said,
A general cheer greets the widow as she is led into the room by the corporal for she had asked many of her friends as well as the crew of the Yungfrau, and many others came who were not invited; so that the wedding day, instead of disbursement, produced one of large receipt to the happy pair. "Now then, corporal, you must open the ball with your lady," cried Bill Spurey. "Mein Gott! yes."
"Then why don't he say why?" retorted Bill Spurey, who was still a little suspicious of the corporal's fidelity. "Because Mynheer Vanslyperken count his money de guineas," replied the corporal, writhing at the idea of what he had lost by his superior's interference.
"So," cried Coble, after the boat shoved off, "liberty's stopped as well as singing. What next, I wonder? I sha'n't stand this long." "No," replied Short. "Stop till he makes friends with the widow," observed Bill Spurey; "she'll get us all leave." "Mein Gott, he nebber say anyting before," observed Jansen. "No; we might almost go and come as we wished. We must not stand this."
"Mein Gott! it was mutiny to flog de officer," said Jansen. "That's very true," observed another. "But Jemmy can't stand against the fat corporal and the six marines," observed Bill Spurey. "One up and t'other down, I'll take them all," observed Jemmy, expanding his chest. "Yes, but they'll all be down upon you at once, Jemmy."
"And here I go," exclaimed Smallbones. "I defy the devil and all his works as we said on Sunday at the workhouse." "That lad's a prime bit of stuff," observed Spurey, "I will say that." "Yes," replied Short. In a few seconds Smallbones came hastily up the ladder. "Corporal, you must go to the cabin directly.
The corporal put his hand up to the salute, and Vanslyperken shook his head with a diabolical expression of countenance. "Now, where the devil could he come from?" whispered Spurey. Coble shrugged up his shoulders, and Short gave a long whistle, expending more breath than usual.
