And one poor fellow said: "I am Henry Worley, striker of the Amaranth! My mother lives in St. Louis. Tell her a lie for a poor devil's sake, please. Say I was killed in an instant and never knew what hurt me though God knows I've neither scratch nor bruise this moment! It's hard to burn up in a coop like this with the whole wide world so near.
Worley. I never did like it. They cry so! "Then I inquired of our Chinese teacher's wife if she knew of girl baby killing still going on in China. "'Just last week, this teacher's wife said in answer to my inquiry, 'the woman next door went back to her village two miles from here and she saw her own sister drown a baby while she was there.
John Rackam, and Captain Anstis, Captain Worley, and Evans, and Philips, and others a score or more of wild fellows whose very names made ship captains tremble in their shoes in those good old times.

“And I am rejoiced to make the acquaintance of Judge Worley,” replied Calhoun, raising his hand as if to shade his eyes from the light.
