Four days we was in it, with green seas raking over her from bow to stern.
That was a terrible time.
God help us.
If it wasn't for me, my great strength, I'm telling you, this is God's truth, there'd have been mutiny itself in the Stoke Hall.
T'was me held them to it, with a kick to one and a clout to another, till they was fearing a clout of my right arm more than they was fearing the sea itself.
You did some hard work, didn't you?
I did that.
I'm a devil for sticking it out when then it's weak and want to give up.
But much good it did anyone.
It was a mad fight and scramble in the last few seconds with each man for himself.
I disremember how it came about, but there was the two of us in that one little rowboat.
And when we was raised high on a great wave, I took a look about.
Not a sight there was of the ship or the other men on top of the sea.
All the rest was drowned?
There was, surely.
Terrible end for the like of them swabs that live inland, maybe.
Not for the like of us that we roam in the seas.
Good end, I'm telling you.
Quick and clean.
Clean.
