Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


"Ut was a drunken mon's luck, for the Starry Grace wore off afore
thot God-Almighty gale wuthout shuppun' a bucket o' watter, the
second mate shoutun' orders an' the crew jumpun' like mod. An'
wuth thot the skupper nods contented-like tull humself an' goes
below after more whusky. Ut was plain murder o' the lives o' all
of us, for ut was no the time for the buggest shup afloat tull be
runnun'. Run? Never hov I seen the like! Ut was beyond all
thunkun', an' me goun' tull sea, boy an' men, for forty year. I
tell you ut was fair awesome.
