Captain Kendall, said the first lieutenant of the schooner, when they returned to their cabin,
gpt
I think I have money enough to build a new galiot for Captain Schumblefungus, or whatever his name is. I don't wonder that a man with such a name as that should be cast away, especially if the mate had to speak it before he let go the halyards.
human
How much have you?
gpt
I don't know, replied Terrill, producing a whole bundle of money orders, with which the students had paid their subscriptions.

Mr. Lowington made a speech to the Young Americans after he returned on board. He told them what we had done, and what we intended to do. The fellows in the ship wanted to have a finger in the pie; and I believe every one of them has put down his twelve guilders.
gpt
I am very glad to hear that; for I pitied the Dutch captain from the bottom of my heart,
human
All the professors gave twelve guilders, except old Hamblin--
gpt
Professor Hamblin,
human
Professor Hamblin; but I have no respect for him, and I can't always help speaking what I think. He is a solemn old lunatic, as grouty as a crab that has got aground.
gpt
We will not speak of him,
human
Well, they all subscribed except him; and I'm sure I've got more than twelve hundred guilders. Why, even the cooks and stewards gave something.
gpt
I'm glad you have been so fortunate.
human
Captain Spunkenfungle's eyes will stick out a foot or two when he hears what we have done for him.
gpt
And I'm sure we shall be as happy as he; for such gifts, you know, are twice blessed.
human
Sixteen hundred and fifty-four guilders!
gpt
Four hundred and fifty-four guilders more than the sum required,
human
Shall we give it all to the skipper?
gpt
I don't know. We will leave that to Mr. Lowington,
human
I don't think we ought to give him any more than enough to make up his loss. That would tempt him to wreck his galiot again, if there was an American flag in sight,
gpt
I see no reason why he should be left any better off than before the disaster, continued the captain.
human
We can keep the money as a charity fund; and I have no doubt we shall soon find a chance to make good use of it.
