This is my fifth voyage.

I had a hard time getting these three interested, and spent all my little store of money before they signed the agreement.

They were very mean.

Advance any money to me! The very idea of it was preposterous.

Though I bided my time, ran up a comfortable hotel bill, and, at the very last, ordered my own generous assortment of liquors and cigars and charged the bill to the schooner.
