But here same grumbling arose from
our fellows. "'Vast, Master Ardick;

With this I withdrew a bit into the

who was now gnite at his ease. and
flourished his pipe in an important,

He took away his head, and looked at
me as one thunderstruck, Instead of
answering, he plucked off his bar-

that he might be collecting his wits,
