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
stabboard!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow!
ch-chow-wow!
Chow!”
His
right
hand,
mean-time,
describing
stately
circles—for
it
was
representing
a
forty-foot
wheel.
“Let
her
go
back
on
the
labboard!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow-ch-chow-chow!”
The
left
hand
began
to
describe
circles.
“Stop
the
stabboard!
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Stop
the
labboard!
Come
ahead
on
the
stabboard!
Stop
her!
Let
your
outside
turn
over

Ting-a-ling-ling!
Chow-ow-ow!

your
spring-line—what’re

Take

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

the
steamboat.
Ben
stared
a
moment
and
then
said:
“Hi-Yi!
You’re
up
a
stump,
ain’t
you!”
No
answer.
Tom
surveyed
his
last
touch
with
the
eye
of
an
artist,
then
he
gave
his
brush
another
gentle
sweep
and
surveyed
the
result,
as
before.
Ben
ranged
up
alongside
of
him.
Tom’s
mouth
watered
for
the
apple,
but
he
stuck
to
his
work.
Ben
said:
“Hello,

chap,

hey?”
Tom
wheeled
suddenly
and
