Capítulo 2, Página 3
“Ship
up
to
back!
Ting-a-ling-ling!”
His
arms
straightened
and
stiffened
down
his
sides.
“Set
her
back
on
the
starboard!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow!
ch-chow-wow!
Chow!”
His
right
hand,
meanwhile,
described
stately
circles—for
it
was
representing
a
forty-foot
wheel.
“Let
her
go
back
on
the
port!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow-ch-chow-chow!”
The
left
hand
began
to
describe
circles.
“Stop
the
starboard!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Stop
the
port!
Come
ahead
on
the
starboard!
Stop
her!
Let
your
outside
turn
over
slow!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow-ow-ow!

Come—out

your
spring-line—what’re
you
doing
there!
Take

SH’T!
S’H’T!
SH’T!”
(trying
the
gauge-cocks).
Tom

whitewashing,

the
steamboat.
Ben
stared
for
a
moment
and
then
said:
“Hi-Yi!
You’re
in
a
fix,
aren’t
you?”
No
answer.
Tom
surveyed
his
last
stroke
with
the
eye
of
an
artist,
then
he
gave
his
brush
another
gentle
sweep
and
examined
the
result,
as
before.
Ben
came
up
beside
him.
Tom’s
mouth
watered
for
the
apple,
but
he
stuck
to
his
work.
Ben
said:
“Hey,
old
chap,
you
got
to
work,
huh?”
Tom
turned
suddenly
and
