MRS。 DRAKE ��AT KNITTING��。 Do you know the captain�察�sailor��
PEW。 Know him�拭 �I was that man's bos'un�察�ma'am。 In the Guinea
trade�察�we was known as 'Pew's Cap'n��' and 'Gaunt's Bo'sun��' one

DRAKE RE´ENTERING WITH RUM。��
��MRS。 DRAKE。 If what you say be true�察�sailor ��and I don't say it
isn't�察�mind�。��察�it's strange that Arethusa and that godly man her
father have never so much as spoke your name。
PEW。 Why�察�that's so� �And why�察�says you�拭 �Why�察�when I dropped in
and paid my respecks this morning�察�do you think she knew me�拭 �No
more'n a babe unborn� �Why�察�ma'am�察�when I promised and vowed for

eagle�察�walked the deck in a hornpipe�察�foot up and foot down��
v'ice as mellow as rum�察�'and upon 'art�察�and all the females took
dead aback at the first sight�察�Lord bless 'em� �Know me�拭 �Not
likely。 And as for me�察�when I found her such a lovely woman ´ by
the feel of her 'and and arm� � you might have knocked me down
with a feather。 But here's where it is�察�you see�此 �when you've
been knocking about on blue water for a matter of two´and´forty
year�察�shipwrecked here�察�and blown up there�察�and everywhere out of
luck�察�and given over for dead by all your messmates and
relations�察�why�察�what it amounts to is this�此 �nobody knows you��

you for another noggin of rum。

genteel and amicable´like�察�what about my old commander�拭 �Is he��

fortune�察�like a gentleman slaver ought��
MRS。 DRAKE。 Well�察�sailor�察�people talk�察�you know。
PEW。 I know�察�ma'am�察�I'd have been rolling in my coach�察�if they'd
have held their tongues。
MRS。 DRAKE。 And they do say that Captain Gaunt�察�for so pious a
man�察�is little better than a miser。
PEW。 Don't say it�察�ma'am�察�not to old Pew。 Ah�察�how often have I
up and strove with him� �'Cap'n�察�live it down��' says I。 'Ah��
Pew��' says he�察�'you're a better man than I am��' he says�察�'but

��INSINUATING。�� And what about a old sea´chest�察�hey�拭�a old
sea´chest�察�strapped with brass bands��
MRS。 DRAKE。 Why�察�that'll be the chest in his parlour�察�where he
has it bolted to the wall�察�as I've seen with my own eyes�察�and so
might you�察�if you had eyes to see with。
PEW。 No�察�ma'am�察�that ain't good enough�察�you don't bam old Pew。

me herself�察�and I told her where she'd find my name ´ P�察�E�察�W��
Pew ´ cut out on the starn of it�察�and sure enough she did。 Why��
ma'am�察�it was his old money´box when he was in the Guinea trade��
