Did you ever hear Mr.Peaks, who has been a sailor all his lifetime, use such language ?" "I'll be bound he never did," added Peaks.
"No, sir.

I don't know that I ever did." "Some sailors do use such expressions; but it is gross affectation for these young gentlemen, who never saw a blue wave, to indulge in them.

If you please, Wilton, you will not use such language.

It is simply ridiculous.

Mr.Peaks, you will pipe all hands to muster again." The shrill whistle of the boatswain sounded through the ship, and the boys tumbled up the ladders, eager to learn what was to be done next.
