That from the constancy of our fishery, and the short season during which theirs continued, and also from the economy and management of ours, compared with the expense of theirs, we had always been able to sell our fish, in their islands, at twenty-five livres the quintal, while they were obliged to ask thirty-six livres.
Slaves are not exported from Morocco. Besides the payment of special impost on exportation, wool pays a duty of three dollars per quintal, and two pounds of powder when dirty, and double when washed. A bullock pays export duty ten dollars, and a sheep one. Sheepskins eight dollars the hundred, bullock-skins three dollars per quintal, and goat-skins the same.
"Oh, I say, Matt," cried McCoy, "who put that cocoa-nut on the bridge of your nose?" "Who?" grow led Quintal, with an oath. "Who on the island would dare to do it but that domineerin' upstart, Christian?" "Humph!" answered McCoy, with a slight sneer. He followed this up with a curse on domineerers in general, and on Fletcher Christian in particular.
At this point Isaac Martin quietly descended into the boat, but Quintal, pointing a musket at him, threatened to shoot him if he did not return to the ship. He obeyed the order with reluctance, and soon after the boat was cast adrift. The crew of the Bounty at the time consisted of forty-four souls, all told. Eighteen of these went adrift with the Captain.
The latter, who was of a quiet and studious nature, resolved to have prayers every morning and evening, and regular services on Sunday, and to teach the children, of whom there were nineteen, several of them then being between the ages of seven and nine years.

"More like old Noah comin' out o' the ark," said Williams, "on the top o' Mount Mount what was its name? I forget." "Mount Sy-nee," suggested Quintal. "Not at all; it was Mount Arrowroot," said Isaac Martin, with the air of an oracle. "Clear the way, lads, for the poultry," shouted midshipman Young.
"If you ever dare to touch her so again," said Young, striding up to Quintal, "I'll kick you into the pig-sty."
Walden, "in that bag, the one-hundred-and-one kind, and a bushel and three pecks of clover seed in the other bag. You can get a barrel of 'lasses, half a quintal of codfish, half a barrel of mackerel, and a bag of Turk's Island salt." "Don't forget," said Mrs. Walden, "that we want some pepper, spice, cinnamon, nutmegs, cloves, and some of the very best Maccaboy snuff. Oh, let me see!
W'y don't they slump 'em all together into one 'ouse, an' get the Archbishop o' Cantingbury to bless 'em all, right off, same as the Pope does. That's w'ere it is. D'ye see? That's w'ere the shoe pinches." "Ah, an' what would you make o' the King?" demanded Quintal, with an argumentative frown.
