.....
"And when the ship began to move The captain says, 'Quack-quack!'"
'He notices the captain turns very red and angry, and he says to himself; "My foolish tongue's run away with me again. I'll go forward;" and he went forward, and catched the reflection of himself in the binnacle brasses; and he saw that he was standing there and talking mothernaked in front of all them sailors, and he ran into the fo'c's'le howling most grievous. He must ha' gone naked for weeks on the Light, and Challong o' course never noticed it. Challong was swimmin' round and round the ship, sayin' "dam" for to please the men and to be took aboard, because he didn't know any better.
