Captains All

Captains All

W. W. Jacobs

Short Stories / Horror / Mystery & Thrillers

Every sailorman grumbles about the sea, said the night-watchman, thoughtfully. It\'s human nature to grumble, and I s\'pose they keep on grumbling and sticking to it because there ain\'t much else they can do. There\'s not many shore-going berths that a sailorman is fit for, and those that they are—such as a night-watchman\'s, for instance—wants such a good character that there\'s few as are to equal it. Sometimes they get things to do ashore. I knew one man that took up butchering, and \'e did very well at it till the police took him up.
