I remember him as if it were yesterday as he came plodding to the indoor, his sea chest following behind him in a hand. Barrow, a tall, strong, heavy man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred with black broken nails on the sabre, cut across one cheek, a dirty leather Dwight. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so and then breaking out in that old sea song that he sang so often afterwards. 15 men on the dead man's chest, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars. Then he rapped on the door with a bit of a stick like a hand spike that he carried on when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste and still looking about him at the Cliffs and Avatar sign board. This is a handy cove, says he at length on a pleasant city ated grog shop. Much company mate. My father told him no very little company. The more was the pity
