olives and botargoes and said, “Whence gottest thou all this?” “From the
bounty of Allah Almighty,” replied Abu Sir. Then Abu Kir would have
fallen to, but the barber said to him, “Eat not of this, O my brother;
but leave it to serve us another time; for know that I shaved the
Captain and complained to him of our lack of victual: whereupon quoth
he:—Welcome to thee! Bring thy comrade and sup both of ye with me every
night. And this night we sup with him for the first time.” But Abu Kir
replied, “My head goeth round with sea-sickness and I cannot rise from
my stead; so let me sup off these things and fare thou alone to the
Captain.” Abu Sir replied, “There is no harm in that;” and sat looking
at the other as he ate, and saw him hew off gobbets, as the quarryman
heweth stone from the hill-quarries and gulp them down with the gulp of
an elephant which hath not eaten for days, bolting another mouthful ere
he had swallowed the previous one and glaring the while at that which
was before him with the glowering of a Ghul and blowing as bloweth the
hungry bull over his beans and bruised straw. Presently up came a sailor
and said to the barber, “O craftsmaster, the Captain biddeth thee come
to supper and bring thy comrade.” Quoth the barber to the dyer, “Wilt
thou come with us?”; but quoth he, “I cannot walk.” So the barber went
by himself and found the Captain sitting before a tray whereon were a
score or more of dishes and all the company were awaiting him and his
mate. When the Captain saw him he asked, “Where is thy friend?”; and Abu
Sir answered, “O my lord, he is sea-sick.” Said the skipper, “That will
do him no harm; his sickness will soon pass off; but do thou carry him
his supper and come back, for we tarry for thee.” Then he set apart a
porringer of Kabábs and putting therein some of each dish, till there
was enough for ten, gave
an abundance of bread and cheese and 
 olives and botargoes and said, “ Whence gottest thousand all this? ” “ From the 
 amplitude of Allah Almighty, ” answer Abu Sir. Then Abu Kir would have 
 fallen to, but the barber said to him, “ Eat not of this, O my buddy;
