Steady there,
gpt
Steady it is, growled Dumlow.
human
Look here, you Jarette, if you'll just have these ropes undone on the starboard side to let one o' my fins at liberty I'll fight yer one hand.
gpt
Hold you your tongue, fool.
human
Shan't, so now then. Jest you have this rope undone and I'll take a pair on you.
gpt
Will you hold that tongue, or shall I cut it out?
human
I should just like to ketch you at it, yer sham make-believe English sailor.
gpt
Look here, you two, you are brought before me, the captain of this ship, for me to see whether I am willing to let you off easy.
human
Oh, you're the skipper, are yer? said Barney, spitting on the deck.
gpt
Well, yer don't look like it, messmet.
human
Silence, shouted Jarette.
gpt
Now, look here, my lads, if I have you cut loose and forgive you for giving us so much trouble and knocking your mates about, will you join us and help us work the ship?
human
No! roared Dumlow,
gpt
I'm blessed if I do.
human
And you, Barney?
gpt
Same I says as my mate.
human
Vairy good, then, my friends, we were going to offer you a happy life and a share in our prize, but you will not take them, so we shall have to pitch you both overboard.
gpt
As Neb says, I should just like to ketch yer at it,
human
Lookye here, Frenchy, cried Dumlow in his strange growl,
gpt
Will you join us, big idiot?
