Present my compliments to him, Mr.Mott, and say that he needn't dress up on my account.

I am an old-fashioned sailor-man.

It is nothing new to me to see men who haven't shaved in a fortnight, and others who never change shirts." "Very well, sir," said Mr.Mott, and departed.
Presently he reappeared with the stowaway in charge.
Captain Trigger beheld a well set-up young man of medium height, with freshly shaven chin and jaws, carefully brushed hair, spotless white shirt and collar, and,--revealed in a quick glance,--recently scrubbed hands.

His brown Norfolk jacket was open, and he carried a brand new, though somewhat shapeless pan-ama hat in his hand.

Evidently he had ceased fanning himself with it at the moment of entering the captain's presence.
