t. 11 TIT own they wusn't do ose tryin to beat Cap Walrus, an' If Bill 9ut here he'd say th''same. I have in mind th' time we rigged up a trap for him on th' 1 Dancin' Sal 1 by cutMug away th deck with a saw, figgerin' t' put 'im in th' hold.
2. "It 'us this way: arter we made th deck In-secure we rushes astern an' spins a yarn about mutiny in th fo'csle, 'lowin' as how th old Cap 'ud go cruisin' for'ard an' then we'd have 'im.
3. "Butth'old feller seemed suspicious o1 something an even when Bill an' me agreed t' stand back o' him an' help hold th' ship he didn't seem t' take t' th' idea like we'd calculated on.
4. 11 Capt'Ia Walrus ordered Bill an me for'd fust, but we ups an' 6ays 'at as he 'us the capt'n, it would be against disaphn for us t' take th' lead, but there 'us no use argufyin' 'ith old man Walrus, as he always had his own way arterwards, an' Bill an' me badJoitartfor'd.
5. " We figgered on jumpin' Overath unmount! planks, but poor Bill stubbed his toe an' that spoiled th' puddin' an' down we went, Davy Jones an all, an' we touched bottom to hard 'at we saw enough stars t' brighten up th hold.
6. 44 Well, there we wus, catched in our own trap, an just t show how revengeful old Walrus 'us, wot does he do but keep us down there in that bilge water ftfr th' rest 0' th' voy'ge, not t' menshun hailing us'up fer mutiny when we touched port."
