Then the Whale opened his mouth back and back and back till it nearly touched his tail , and he swallowed the shipwrecked Mariner , and the raft he was sitting on , and his blue canvas breeches , and the suspenders -LRB- which you must not forget -RRB- , and the jack-knife -- He swallowed them all down into his warm , dark , inside cup-boards , and then he smacked his lips -- so , and turned round three times on his tail . But as soon as the Mariner , who was a man of infinite-resource-and-sagacity , found himself truly inside the Whale 's warm , dark , inside cup-boards , he stumped and he jumped and he thumped and he bumped , and he pranced and he danced , and he banged and he clanged , and he hit and he bit , and he leaped and he creeped , and he prowled and he howled , and he hopped and he dropped , and he cried and he sighed , and he crawled and he bawled , and he stepped and he lepped , and he danced hornpipes where he should n't , and the Whale felt most unhappy indeed . -LRB- Have you forgotten the suspenders ? -RRB- So he said to the ` Stute Fish , ` This man is very nubbly , and besides he is making me hiccough . What shall I do ? ' ` Tell him to come out , ' said the ` Stute Fish . So the Whale called down his own throat to the shipwrecked Mariner , ` Come out and behave yourself . I 've got the hiccoughs . ' ` Nay , nay ! ' said the Mariner . ` Not so , but far otherwise . Take me to my natal-shore and the white-cliffs-of-Albion , and I 'll think about it . ' And he began to dance more than ever . ` You had better take him home , ' said the ` Stute Fish to the Whale . ' I ought to have warned you that he is a man of infinite-resource-and-sagacity . ' So the Whale swam and swam and swam , with both flippers and his tail , as hard as he could for the hiccoughs ; and at last he saw the Mariner 's natal-shore and the white-cliffs-of-Albion , and he rushed half-way up the beach , and opened his mouth wide and wide and wide , and said , ` Change here for Winchester , Ashuelot , Nashua , Keene , and stations on the Fitch_burg Road ; ' and just as he said ` Fitch ' the Mariner walked out of his mouth . But while the Whale had been swimming , the Mariner , who was indeed a person of infinite-resource-and-sagacity , had taken his jack-knife and cut up the raft into a little square grating all running criss-cross , and he had tied it firm with his suspenders -LRB- now , you know why you were not to forget the suspenders ! -RRB- , and he dragged that grating good and tight into the Whale 's throat , and there it stuck ! Then he recited the following Sloka , which , as you have not heard it , I will now proceed to relate -- By means of a grating I have stopped your ating . For the Mariner he was also an Hi-ber-ni-an .
And he XXXXX out on the shingle , and went home to his mother , who had given him leave to trail his toes in the water ; and he married and lived happily ever afterward .
