Well, what on earth did you give
it to me for? ses the skipper. / do
wish you'd know your own mind, Mr..
Jackson
1T really didn't look half bad when
he'd finished it, and it was easy to see
how pleased Miss Mallow was"
Il must say she 'ad good time of
it, We was having splendid weather,
and there wasn't much work for any
body; consequently, when she wasn't
receiving good advice from the skipper
and the mate, she was receiving atten-
ton from both the second and third
officers. Mr.. Scott, the second, didn't
seem to take much notice of her for
day or two, and the first l saw of his
being in love was is being very rude
to Mr.. Fisher and giving up bad lang
widge so sudden it's a wonder it didn't
do i'm injury.
Il think the gal rather enjoyed their
attentions at first, but arter time she
got fairly tired of it. She never 'ad no
rest, pore thing. If she was up on
deck looking over the side the third
officer would come up and talk ro-
mantle to 'er about the sea and the
lonely lives of sailor men, and actu-
rally card Mr.. Scott repeating poetry
to her. The skipper card it too, and
being suspicious % poetry, and not
having heard clearly, called him up to
i'm and made i'm say it all over again
to i'm. 'E didn't seem quite to know
wot to make of it, so e calls up the
mate for i'm to hear it. The mate
said it was rubbish. and the skipper
told Mr.. Scott that if he was taken
that way agin ed ear more of it.
There was no doubt about them
two young fellers being genuine. She
'appened to say one day that she could
never, never care for man who drank
and smoked, and I'm blest if both of
EN- didn't take to water and give 'er
their pipes to chuck overheard, and
the agony those two chaps used to
suffer when they saw other people
smoking was pitiful to witness
1T got to such a pitch at last that
the mate, who, as l said afore, was a
very particular man. called another
committee meeting. 1t was very sol
emn affair, and e made a long speech
| in which he said he was the father oil
family, and that the second and third
officers was far too attentive to Miss
Mallow, and e asked the skipper tc
