Shipmate

On his way home he met an old shipmate, and took a long walk with him.

On being asked where this old shipmate lived, he was unable to give any satisfactory reply.

"And who else?" returned the other, getting more at his ease. "Black Dog as ever was, come for to see his old shipmate Billy, at the 'Admiral Benbow' inn. Ah, Bill, Bill, we have seen a sight of times, us two, since I lost them two talons," holding up his mutilated hand.
