Captain Royal
115

Coming around a jutting promontory of rock was a queer old man, clad in fisherman's garb, with a huge straw hat on his head. He had not seen them as yet. He was singing, in a high-pitched voice, and even at that distance they could make out the words:

"I'm Captain Royal, of the King's Navee,

And I want two lumps of sugar in my tea."
