Golden Horn. One of th
crew was a sailor we called
Handsome Jack, ju s t be­
cause be was so dingblisted
homely. That fe lle r had th'
biggest nose I've ever seen,
ami he was ready fo r a row
i f anyone made a rem ark
ataiut th a t nose One day
he was goin’ fo r ’ard when a
voice sang out. "W o t a
nose'
Handsome Jack was mad
enough to bite a capstan-
bar in tw o when he saw it
was th ’ skipper’ s pa rro t
th a t hail sung out about his
nose. But it was later, when
th ’ p a rro t found Handsome
Jack asleep and nipped his
toe, that th’ real row s ta rt­
ed.
W ith a k n ife In his hand
Jack took a fte r th ’ parrot,
■ o a rin ' that he’d have th ’
liv e r o f th a t dodgasted
l : -en awab. Just as Jack
wiic n n c h in ’ fo r th ’ p a rro t’»
ta il th ’ »kipper stepped out
on deck anil ordered Jaek
to get fo r’urd. ‘‘ Hut th ’
bloom in' swab of a parrot
nipped me toe,” growled
Jack. W ell, he was tu rn in ’
to go fo r’ard when, th ’ par­
rot yelled: ‘ ‘Look at th ’
nose. Q uar-r-r r k ! "
Handsome Jack out w ith
his knife and made fo r th ’
parrot. The next minute he
was sailin’ through th ’ air,
w ith th ’ »kipper's hoot ju s t
behind him. W ell s’r, here’s
where th ’ funny p a rt of th ’
yarn comes In. T h' skipper
was pretty fat. He was ju s t
about to step into th ’ cabin
when th ’ parrot cocked a
m e a n eye at him and
aipiawked: ’’Lookit th* fa t
porpoise!”
There was a broom lean-
in' against th ’ deck-house.
When th ’ skipper finished
w ith th a t p a rro t th ' c ritte r
lookcc I as though he’s been
through a China Sea ty ­
phoon.
