First Sentence: |
I was passing the ball for Bill Reefknot, on the main-topsail-yard of the Ranger, when he suddenly pitched headlong into--the following yarn: "Old Tom Spanker!" cried he, while he deposited a fresh piece of tobacco upon the surface of his tongue, and sent it rolling luxuriously into the left side of his jaw--"old Tom Spanker! Ay, ay, lad! it's of old Tom Spanker I am a-thinkin' at this moment..." |
Last Sentence: |
"...As to the Spanish bark, she was never again heard of, and I thinks she must have foundered in a heavy gale o' wind that we had on the day after I escaped from her." |
