Xantrius is sent to the galley where he finds Kroop reclining on a sack of turnips, with a pitcher of rum in one hand and a dry cup in the other. "Ahoy, m' coo's matey. Yeb' grabbin' a cu'n' hav'n' a drin' an' ye'k'n tel's 'bout wachyer doin'ere."
Ambrose Kroop fetches Xantrius and the two of them dish out to the crew the fish stew they've prepared for dinner. Usually referred to as "Fishguts", Ambrose recieves little praise for his concoction. The captain’s cabin girl, “Caulky” Tarroon, collects the officers’ food from the galley and takes it to the captain’s cabin. She takes enough for at least a half dozen. Ambrose then informs Xantrius he's off to bed and staggers unsteadily below decks. |
