DEEP SEA HUNTERS IN THE FROZEN SEAS
THE NARWHAL
Although they were fast friends, they were ever chaffing each other and made it a point never to agree upon anything.
As Mike said, "Phwhat's the use av talkin' if yez don't be afther arguin'? Shure an' if yez agrees there's not a bit more to be said."
So, as usual, the two ancient mariners were in the midst of a discussion regarding a weather-beaten, disreputable, unkempt craft which was being towed across New Bedford harbor by a fussy little tug.
Mike snorted. "B'gorra thin 'twill be a cruise to Davy Jones she'll be afther takin'!" he exclaimed. "Shure, 'tis l'ave o' yer sinses ye're takin', ye ol' walrus! 'Tis to junk the schooner they do be towin' av her here."
Mike guffawed. "Glory be!" he cried. "An' do yez be afther thinkin' as Dixon'll be fittin' out av a floatin' horspittle, ye ol' cripple?"
"Hurrah!" cried Tom. "That tug's coming in here with that old brig. Say, Cap'n Pem, what do you suppose they're going to do with her?"
Mike chuckled. "Glory be!" he exclaimed. "Even the b'ys is afther knowin' 'tis no cruise she'll be takin'. Shure, me laddies, Oi wuz just afther tellin' Pem 'twas a-junkin' av her they'll be. But b'gorra, he'll be havin' av it his own way an', phwat's more, the ol' idjit's a-sayin' as he'll be afther a-tryin' to ship along av her."
"And you said only an old fool like Mr. Nye would ship a wooden-legged mate," put in Jim. "Isn't Mike going too to keep you company?"
"Divvil a bit!" declared Mike positively. "'Tis solid land Oi do be afther wantin' to feel ben'ath me two feet--an' me havin' but wan."
"Waall, I'll bet ye she's a-goin' fer a cruise annyways," rumbled Cap'n Pem, "an' we'll soon fin' out."
