There was such a worthy aboard of the Julia; but, curious to tell, he lived in the forecastle with the men.

And this was the way it happened.
In the early part of the voyage the doctor and the captain lived together as pleasantly as could be.

To say nothing of many a can they drank over the cabin transom, both of them had read books, and one of them had travelled; so their stories never flagged.

But once on a time they got into a dispute about politics, and the doctor, moreover, getting into a rage, drove home an argument with his fist, and left the captain on the floor literally silenced.

This was carrying it with a high hand; so he was shut up in his state-room for ten days, and left to meditate on bread and water, and the impropriety of flying into a passion.
