They lives rough , and they risk swinging , but they eat and drink like fighting-cocks , and when a cruise is done , why , it 's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets .

And how did I begin ? Before the mast , like you ! '' `` Well , '' said the other , `` but all the other money 's gone now , ai n't it ? You dare n't show face in Bristol after this .

I would tell you where , for I trust you , but it 'd make jealousy among the mates . ''
