Then he turned to the bosun, and asked him how he had come by his wound.

The bosun, who had crawled after me, whispered he was sure it was too short.

I sprang up from Runnles' side, but the bosun from the bed beyond was before me.

And the bosun, he's as strong as an ox, and might be a useful man.
