Excerpt: ...sticking in my throat, ' ses he. "The cap'n give a gulp, and walked off, but he comes back in a minute, and ses he- "'Mr. Salmon, I should think it a great pity to lose a valuable officer like yourself, even to do good to others. There's a hard ring about that cough I don't like, an' if you really think it's going up this bit north, why, I don't mind putting the ship in her course again.'
