Massa Capen, dis har ole nigga neber git a-lickin' at de gangway, and I tink, Massa Capen, dat it is a mos' unacountable ting if dis har nigga is whipped just 'cause he's nuffin' but a witness. Pray de Lor', Massa Capen, sar, but don't whip dis har old nigga ; it dun kill him for sure." " This is one of the witnesses, sir," interposed Mr. Barnacle, who began to think the captain had taken leave of his senses; "there must be some mistake, sir." "No mistake whatever, sir," he replied, haughtily; ..."I am going to lick witnesses and all, and then I will be sure to punish the right one. Better that one hundred innocent persons should suf- fer than that one guilty person should escape, so my Bible teaches me, and I always carry out the principles of the Christian religion." "I rather think, sir, your Bible contains a misprint, and I would respectfully suggest the propriety of looking at it again be- fore you punish these men. I think you would regret flogging Gumbo Chaff ; he stands high in the estimation of the officers, and has never been flogged since I have known him, and this is the third ship in which we have sailed together.
