Part Two
Pull away there, my lads - jump aboard of that offside ship and make the end of that line fast for’d - whe’s that awd man coming for’d to interfere wi’ the men? I say, you awd fellow, cannot you let them make the line fast? Never mind the awd fyul, my clever fellows - I wonder to see two young fellows run away up the riggin’ for an awd man like that - you obstinate awd fyul ye, if I come aboard to you I’ll pull that hairy cap off your head. I’ve seen a vast of obstinate awd men like you, but I never saw such an obstinate awd man as that before. Cannot you let the men make the line fast now? If you’ll put off that hairy coat of yours, I’ll come aboard and fight you in your shirt-sleeves like a man -
Whisht, pilot, pilot; don’t you see it’s a bear?
O! it’s a bear, is’t! I never thowt a bear was owt like that. Are you sure it’s a bear? Oh! then I warrant you it is a bear.
