"He shall go into his cabin at twelve o'clock, that will be the best way." "But the corporal." "Hush! there is some one there," said Spurey, who, attracted by a slight noise made by Vanslyperken's boots, turned short round.
Smallbones took the lead, because he was the more courageous of the two, and the corporal following, proved he tacitly admitted it. "He be a real bit of stuff, that 'ere Peter Smallbones," said one of the men. "I thinks he be a supernatural himself, for my part," rejoined Spurey. "At all events, he ar'n't afeard of him," said another.
"Suppose you bury de dog, de dog body not get up again. Suppose he will come, his soul come, leave him body behind him." "That's exactly my notion of the thing," observed Smallbones. "Do you mean for to bury him alive?" inquired Spurey. "Alive! Gott in himmel no. I knock de brains out first, perry afterwards." "There's some sense in that, corporal."
Smallbones took the lead, because he was the more courageous of the two, and the corporal following, proved he tacitly admitted it. "He be a real bit of stuff, that 'ere Phil Smallbones," said one of the men. "I thinks he be a supernatural himself, for my part," rejoined Spurey. "At all events, he ar'n't afeard of him," said another.
The consequence was, as the evening was clear, that there was a very numerous assemblage upon the forecastle of the cutter Yungfrau. "Flog Jemmy," said Bill Spurey. "Why, Jemmy's a hofficer." "To be sure he is," observed another; "and quite as good a one as Vanslyperken himself, though he don't wear brass on his hat." "D n it what next heh, Coble?" Coble hitched up his trousers.
"Now for a breeze," said Coble, hitching up his trousers. "Yes," replied Short. "For a regular shindy," observed Spurey. "Hell to pay and no pitch hot," added Jemmy, laughing; and they all remained in anxious expectation of the corporal's return.
"There be odd chops and changes in this here world, for sartin," observed Coble. "Mayn't it all be gammon?" said Bill Spurey. "Gammon, for why?" replied Jemmy Ducks. "That's the question," rejoined Spurey. "It appears to me that he must have had a touch of conscience," said Coble. "Or else he must have seen a ghost," replied Smallbones.
"I don't know, but they've kicked the cur out of the cabin." "Then they've kicked him out too, depend upon it." Thus did the crew continue to surmise during the whole night, but, as Bill Spurey said, the manoeuvre beat their comprehension. One thing was agreed upon, that they should make an attempt to recover the vessel as soon as they could.
"It's my opinion," said Smallbones, "that he must be in real arnest, otherwise he would not ha' come for to go for to give me a glass of grog there's no gammon in that; and such a real stiff 'un too," continued Smallbones, who licked his lips at the bare remembrance of the unusual luxury. "True," said Short. "It beats my comprehension altogether out of nothing," observed Spurey.
"Well, it's very odd," observed Spurey, "that he has been on board nearly half an hour, and not discovered that his dog is absent without leave." "Yes," said Short. "I know for why, mein Gott!" exclaimed the corporal, who shook his head very knowingly. "The corporal knows why," observed Jemmy Ducks.
