I
observed
,
however
,
that
one
of
them
held
somewhat
aloof
,
and
though
he
seemed
desirous
not
to
spoil
the
hilarity
of
his
shipmates
by
his
own
sober
face
,
yet
upon
the
whole
he
refrained
from
making
as
much
noise
as
the
rest
.
This
man
interested
me
at
once
;
and
since
the
sea-gods
had
ordained
that
he
should
soon
become
my
shipmate
(
though
but
a
sleeping
partner
one
,
so
far
as
this
narrative
is
concerned
)
,
I
will
here
venture
upon
a
little
description
of
him
.
He
stood
full
six
feet
in
height
,
with
noble
shoulders
,
and
a
chest
like
a
coffer-dam
.
I
have
seldom
seen
such
brawn
in
a
man
.
His
face
was
deeply
brown
and
burnt
,
making
his
white
teeth
dazzling
by
the
contrast
;
while
in
the
deep
shadows
of
his
eyes
floated
some
reminiscences
that
did
not
seem
to
give
him
much
joy
.
His
voice
at
once
announced
that
he
was
a
Southerner
,
and
from
his
fine
stature
,
I
thought
he
must
be
one
of
those
tall
mountaineers
from
the
Alleghanian
Ridge
in
Virginia
.
When
the
revelry
of
his
companions
had
mounted
to
its
height
,
this
man
slipped
away
unobserved
,
and
I
saw
no
more
of
him
till
he
became
my
comrade
on
the
sea
.
In
a
few
minutes
,
however
,
he
was
missed
by
his
shipmates
,
and
being
,
it
seems
,
for
some
reason
a
huge
favorite
with
them
,
they
raised
a
cry
of
"
Bulkington
!
Bulkington
!
where
's
Bulkington
?
"
and
darted
out
of
the
house
in
pursuit
of
him
.
It
was
now
about
nine
o'clock
,
and
the
room
seeming
almost
supernaturally
quiet
after
these
orgies
,
I
began
to
congratulate
myself
upon
a
little
plan
that
had
occurred
to
me
just
previous
to
the
entrance
of
the
seamen
.
No
man
prefers
to
sleep
two
in
a
bed
.
In
fact
,
you
would
a
good
deal
rather
not
sleep
with
your
own
brother
.
I
do
n't
know
how
it
is
,
but
people
like
to
be
private
when
they
are
sleeping
.
And
when
it
comes
to
sleeping
with
an
unknown
stranger
,
in
a
strange
inn
,
in
a
strange
town
,
and
that
stranger
a
harpooneer
,
then
your
objections
indefinitely
multiply
.
Nor
was
there
any
earthly
reason
why
I
as
a
sailor
should
sleep
two
in
a
bed
,
more
than
anybody
else
;
for
sailors
no
more
sleep
two
in
a
bed
at
sea
,
than
bachelor
Kings
do
ashore
.
To
be
sure
they
all
sleep
together
in
one
apartment
,
but
you
have
your
own
hammock
,
and
cover
yourself
with
your
own
blanket
,
and
sleep
in
your
own
skin
.
The
more
I
pondered
over
this
harpooneer
,
the
more
I
abominated
the
thought
of
sleeping
with
him
.
It
was
fair
to
presume
that
being
a
harpooneer
,
his
linen
or
woolen
,
as
the
case
might
be
,
would
not
be
of
the
tidiest
,
certainly
none
of
the
finest
.
I
began
to
twitch
all
over
.
Besides
,
it
was
getting
late
,
and
my
decent
harpooneer
ought
to
be
home
and
going
bedwards
.
Suppose
now
,
he
should
tumble
in
upon
me
at
midnight
--
how
could
I
tell
from
what
vile
hole
he
had
been
coming
?
"
Landlord
!
I
've
changed
my
mind
about
that
harpooneer
.
--
I
sha
n't
sleep
with
him
.
I
'll
try
the
bench
here
.
"
"
Just
as
you
please
;
I
'm
sorry
I
cant
spare
ye
a
tablecloth
for
a
mattress
,
and
it
's
a
plaguy
rough
board
here
"
--
feeling
of
the
knots
and
notches
.
"
But
wait
a
bit
,
Skrimshander
;
I
've
got
a
carpenter
's
plane
there
in
the
bar
--
wait
,
I
say
,
and
I
'll
make
ye
snug
enough
.
"
So
saying
he
procured
the
plane
;
and
with
his
old
silk
handkerchief
first
dusting
the
bench
,
vigorously
set
to
planing
away
at
my
bed
,
the
while
grinning
like
an
ape
.
The
shavings
flew
right
and
left
;
till
at
last
the
plane-iron
came
bump
against
an
indestructible
knot
.
The
landlord
was
near
spraining
his
wrist
,
and
I
told
him
for
heaven
's
sake
to
quit
--
the
bed
was
soft
enough
to
suit
me
,
and
I
did
not
know
how
all
the
planing
in
the
world
could
make
eider
down
of
a
pine
plank
.
So
gathering
up
the
shavings
with
another
grin
,
and
throwing
them
into
the
great
stove
in
the
middle
of
the
room
,
he
went
about
his
business
,
and
left
me
in
a
brown
study
.
I
now
took
the
measure
of
the
bench
,
and
found
that
it
was
a
foot
too
short
;
but
that
could
be
mended
with
a
chair
.
But
it
was
a
foot
too
narrow
,
and
the
other
bench
in
the
room
was
about
four
inches
higher
than
the
planed
one
--
so
there
was
no
yoking
them
.
I
then
placed
the
first
bench
lengthwise
along
the
only
clear
space
against
the
wall
,
leaving
a
little
interval
between
,
for
my
back
to
settle
down
in
.
But
I
soon
found
that
there
came
such
a
draught
of
cold
air
over
me
from
under
the
sill
of
the
window
,
that
this
plan
would
never
do
at
all
,
especially
as
another
current
from
the
rickety
door
met
the
one
from
the
window
,
and
both
together
formed
a
series
of
small
whirlwinds
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
spot
where
I
had
thought
to
spend
the
night
.
