I hadn't my Bible with me on this cruise, savin' yer presences an' I couldn't think of any girls' names out of it: but Eve or Queen of Sheba, an' they didn't seem very fit, so I asked one of me mates, an' he says, for his part he guessed Bellzebub was as pretty a girl's name as any, so I guv her that.
'Twould 'a been better to let you name her, but ye see 'twouldn't 'a been handy not to call her somethin', where I was teachin' her every day." Jack turned away and walked to the window, his face a deep scarlet.

I heard him mutter, "Beelzebub, prince of devils," so I suppose the cabin boy had given his bird a bad name.
Mr.Morris looked kindly at the cabin boy "Do you ever call the parrot by her whole name ?" "No, sir," he replied; "I always give her Bell but she calls herself Bella." "Bella," repeated Mr.Morris, "that is a very pretty name.

If you keep her, boys, I think you had better stick to that." "Yes, father," they all said; and then Mr.Morris started to go back to his study.

On the doorsill he paused to ask the cabin boy when his ship sailed.

Finding that it was to be in a few days, he took out his pocket-book and wrote something in it.
