| In common parlance men speak of those whom they honour and love as 'coming first' with them. At King William Island, in the Admiralties, Kwaque had made, in the parlance of the South Pacific, a pier-head jump. He had recognised in me a ship's officer, very possibly looking for a berth like himself, and so far a comrade, but still a man belonging to that sparsely-peopled after-end of a ship, where a great part of her reputation as a "good ship," in seaman's parlance, is made or marred. |
