Hullo! what's all this?
gpt
Walters has got a fit, sir,
human
I haven't, he cried furiously;
gpt
The captain said he was to get up, sir, I pleaded;
human
Let me see, said Mr Frewen, seriously, and he felt Walters' pulse.
gpt
Let me look at your tongue, sir, he continued;
human
Why, I could hardly hold him, sir, I protested.
gpt
He's stronger than I am, only I got him down and sat upon him.
human
Sat upon him--got him down! Why, you might have killed him.
gpt
I didn't think he was bad, sir, I said.
human
You should have seen him a little while ago.
gpt
Oh!
human
He's looking for his breeches, said the doctor, changing his tone.
gpt
There, dress yourself, you cowardly sham! he cried.
human
A great strong healthy lad like you, who has been to sea for eighteen months, to lay up like a sickly weak girl. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
gpt
Dale ought to have tugged you out a couple of days ago, and given you a bucket of water. There, nothing whatever's the matter with him, Brymer. Come along, and I'll report the case to the captain.
human
Well, to see the way he was showing fight, said the mate,
gpt
Weak? Pish! You did quite right, Dale. I'm sympathetic enough with any poor fellow who is really bad, but if there is anything that raises my dander it's a cowardly pitiful fellow who gives up for nothing. Look here, sir, if you're not on deck in a quarter of an hour, I shall suggest strong measures to the captain in answer to his order to come down and see how you were.
human
Open that window, Dale, my lad, this place is stifling.
gpt
Yes, said the first mate.
human
On deck in a quarter of an hour, sir, or you'll wish yourself on shore.
gpt
A set of brutes! he grumbled;
human
There, drop it now, I cried;
gpt
I shall stop and help you.
human
You'll stop till I help you, he said through his clenched teeth.
gpt
I shan't forget this.
human
All right,
