Frightened at this prospect , he slipped away when the crew was going aboard , wandered up into another part of the town , and spent all the forenoon in straying about the common , and the neighboring streets . " We fisted the sail together , and after six or eight minutes of hard hauling and pulling and beating down the sail , which was as stiff as sheet iron , we managed to get it furied ; and snugly furled it must be , for we knew the mate well enough to be certain that if it got adrift again , we should be called up from our watch below , at any hour of the night , to furl it . I was so completely " taken aback " by this sudden intimation , that for a moment I could make no reply . Beside this , having begun the voyage with very few clothes , he had taken up the greater part of his wages in the slop-chest , and it was every day a losing concern to him ; and , like all the rest of the crew , he had a hearty hatred of California , and the prospect of eighteen months or two years more of hide-droghing seemed completely to break down his spirit .

As far as the eye could reach , the sea in every direction was of a deep blue color , the waves running high and fresh , and sparkling in the light , and in the midst lay this immense mountain-island , its cavities and valleys thrown into deep shade , and its points and pinnacles glittering in the sun . " For this , of course , I was much obliged to him , and in truth it was just what I expected . We pulled him on board the Ayacucho , and when he left the boat he gave each of its crew a piece of money , except myself , and shook hands with me , nodding his head , as much as to say , - " We understand one another . They had been beaten out with the exposure and hardship , and impatient to get out of it , and this unaccountable delay was more than they could bear in quietness , in their excited and restless state .
