Heasyoasy -LRB- for so he still named the skipper -RRB- was a man , by his account , that minded for nothing either in heaven or earth ; one that , as people said , would `` crack on all sail into the day of judgment ; '' rough , fierce , unscrupulous , and brutal ; and all this my poor cabin-boy had taught himself to admire as something seamanlike and manly . He would only admit one flaw in his idol . `` He ai n't no seaman , '' he admitted . `` That 's Mr. Shuan that navigates the brig ; he 's the finest seaman in the trade , only for drink ; and I tell you I believe it ! Why , look ` ere ; '' and turning down his stocking he showed me a great , raw , red wound that made my blood run cold . `` He done that -- Mr. Shuan done it , '' he said , with an air of pride . `` What ! '' I cried , `` do you take such savage usage at his hands ? Why , you are no slave , to be so handled ! '' `` No , '' said the poor moon-calf , changing his tune at once , `` and so he 'll find . See'ere ; '' and he showed me a great case-knife , which he told me was stolen . `` O , '' says he , `` let me see him try ; I dare him to ; I 'll do for him ! O , he ai n't the first ! '' And he confirmed it with a poor , silly , ugly oath . I have never felt such pity for any one in this wide world as I felt for that half-witted creature , and it began to come over me that the brig Covenant -LRB- for all her pious name -RRB- was little better than a hell upon the seas . `` Have you no friends ? '' said I . He said he had a father in some English seaport , I forget which . `` He was a fine man , too , '' he said , `` but he 's dead . '' `` In Heaven 's name , '' cried I , `` can you find no reputable life on shore ? ''
`` O , no , '' XXXXX he , winking and looking very sly , `` they would put me to a trade .
