Perceiving at a glance that the Pennsylvania was in no danger, Brown gathered up the big spy-glass, war- club fashion, and ordered me out of the pilot-house with more than Comanche bluster. But I was not afraid of him now; so, instead of going, I tarried, and criti- cised his grammar. I reformed his ferocious speeches for him, and put them into good English, calling his attention to the advantage of pure English over the bastard dialect of the Pennsylvania collieries whence he was extracted. He... could have done his part to ad- miration in a cross-fire of mere vituperation, of course; / but he was not equipped for this species of con- \^ troversy; so he presently laid aside his glass and took the wheel, muttering and shaking his head ; and I re- tired to the bench. The racket had brought every- body to the hurricane-deck, and I trembled when I saw the old captain looking up from amid the crowd. I said to myself, ** Now I am done for !" for although, as a rule, he was so fatherly and indulgent toward the boat's family, and so patient of minor shortcomings, he could be stern enough when the fault was worth it.
