You’ll be interested to hear, Captain, that old Wang has found a pipeful of opium

He’s been hanging around the Chinese crew, sir, ever since we came aboard. I went through their quarters down below forward a while ago, and there he lay in one of their bunks, dead to the world, with the pipe across his chest

I had made up my mind to get rid of him this time, anyway. You know he has been in the family, so to speak. But I don’t like the idea of his going off with his native gang. Combined with the opium business, it looks suspicious. You’d better keep an eye on him. He’s got a grudge against me, you know, since I took away his stuff
