Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


At last, yesterday, while I held the watch, Tom Spink was guilty of
spitting tobacco juice on the deck.


Now it must be understood that such an act is as grave an offence of
the sea as blasphemy is of the Church.


It was Margaret who came to where I was stationed by the jiggermast
and told me what had occurred; and it was she who took my rifle and
relieved me so that I could go aft.
