Yes, certainly.

Why do you bother and boggle so about killing a pig ?" "The ship's company, sir--" "Well; what have the ship's company to say to my pig ?" "They are very fond of Jean, sir." "The devil they are! Well; what then ?" "Why, sir, they would take it as a great kindness if you would not order her to be killed.

She is a great pet, sir, and comes to them when they call her by name, like a dog.

They have taught her not to venture abaft the mainmast; but if you only call her, you'll see that what I say is true." "Indeed! I'll soon try that experiment;" and seized my hat to go on deck.
"Shall I tell the butcher to hold fast ?" asked Capewell.
"Of course!" I exclaimed.

"Of course!" Off shot the steward like an arrow; and I could soon distinguish the effect of the announcement, by the intermission of those horrible screams which ever attend the execution of the pig tribe, all which sounds were instantly terminated on the seizings being cut that tied poor Jean's legs.
On reaching the quarter-deck, I told what had passed to the officer of the watch, who questioned its propriety a little, I thought, by the tone of his answer.
