A FAMILIAR STOCKY SHAPE, stood with a foot on the brass rail, as I entered the American Bar, in Hong-kong. I glared at the shape disapprovingly, recognizing it as Bill McGlory of the Dutchman. That is one ship I enthusiastically detest, this dislike being shared by all the bold lads aboard the Sea Girl, from the cap'n to the cook.
I shouldered up along the bar. Ignoring Bill, I called for a whisky straight.
You know, John,
said Bill, addressing hisself to the bartender, "you got no idee the rotten tubs which calls theirselves ships that's tied up to the wharfs right now. Now then, the Sea Girl for instance. An' there's a guy named Steve Costigan—"
You know, John,
I broke in, addressing myself to the bartender, it's clean surprisin' what goes around on their hind laigs callin' theirselves sailor-men, these days. A baboon got outa the zoo at Brisbane and they just now spotted it on the wharfs here in Hong-kong.
You don't say,
said John the bar-keep. Where'd it been?
To sea,
I said. "It'd shipped as A.B. mariner on the Dutchman and was their best hand."
With which caustic repartee, I stalked out in gloating triumph, leaving Bill McGlory gasping and strangling as he tried to think of something to say in return. To celebrate my crushing victory over the enemy I swaggered into the La Belle Cabaret and soon seen a good looking girl setting alone at a table. She was toying with her cigaret and drink like she was bored, so I went over and set down.
Evenin', Miss,
I says, doffing my cap. I'm just in from sea and cravin' to toss my money around. Do you dance?
She eyed me amusedly from under her long, drooping lashes and said: Yes, I do, on occasion. But I don't work here, sailor.
Oh, excuse me, Miss,
I said, getting up. I sure beg your pardon.
That's all right,
she said. Don't run away. Let's sit here and talk.
That's fine,
I said, setting back down again, when to my annoyance a sea-going figger bulked up to the table.
Even', Miss,
said Bill McGlory, fixing me with a accusing stare. Is this walrus annoyin' you?
Listen here, you flat-headed mutt—
I
