CHAPTER HI THE BLACK SPOT About noon I stopped at the captain's door with some cooling drinks and medicines. He was lying very much as we had left him, only a little higher, and he seemed both weak and excited. "Jim," he said, "you're the only one here that's worth anything; and you know I've always been good to you. Never a month but I've given you a silver fourpenny for yourself. And now you see, mate, I'm pretty low, and deserted by all; and Jim, you'll bring me one noggin 1 of rum, now won't you, matey?" "The doctor--" I began. But he broke in cursing the doctor, in a feeble voice, but heartily. "Doctors is all swabs," he said; "and that doctor there, why, what do he know about seafaring men? I been in places hot as pitch, and mates dropping round with yellow jack,2 and the blessed land a-heaving like the sea with earthquakes--what do the doctor know of lands like that?--and I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me; and if I am not to have my rum now I'm a poor old hulk 3 on a lee 4 shore. My blood '11 be on you, Jim, and that doctor swab," and he ran on again for awhile with curses. "Look, Jim, how my fingers fidges," 5 he continued in the pleading tone. "I can't keep 'em still, not I. I haven't had a drop this blessed day. That doctor's a fool, I tell you. If I don't have a drain o' rum, Jim, I'll have the horrors; I seen some on 'em already. I seen old Flint in the corner there, behind you; as plain as print, I seen him; and if I get the horrors, I'm a man that has lived rough, and I'll raise Cain. Your doctor hisself said one glass wouldn't hurt me. I'll give you a golden guinea for a noggin, Jim."

I usually dont like reading classics. But I enjoyed reading this one... First of all, the language was not what I am used to. This is one of the reason I go with classics.. But it seemed so... hmm.... different.. The conversation seemed like the real talk of the uneducated, ruthless, seamen. Yeah, I have never heard a seamen talk, but if I can imagine he would like in the book.. Lots of twists and turns. And lots of paragraphs which I didnt get, still the story was interesting... Worth a read.. "Ay ay, cap'n!"
