free will l found myself In such clus
quarters a. I'd never knowed afore-
arms tight to my side with parcellin'
to hold EN- an parcellin' over my face,
an me bobbin' around in somethin'-
l couldn't make It out nohow. So I
tarned to an stretched myself, an
things began to rip, an then pulled
myself clear Of what you might call

"lIows'ever, to go on with the yarn,
was all adrift in dory an when | come
to take severe look around found
they'd forgot to take the oars out afore
1roppin' the dory over, an one O them
oars with that ere windln' sheet I'd
had round me sarved elegant for u

ere was set turns In on the bottom of
he dory for good sleep.
81 fancy II was nigh hard to two bells
} the first watch that night when |
wakes up an finds the wind had fell
m the dory was right under the bows
