After that was done Charlie washed him , and Harry going ashore , begged a much-worn suit of boy 's clothes from a foreman of his acquaintance . He also brought back a message from the foreman to Mr. Brown to the effect that he was surprised at him . The conversation that evening after Master Jones was asleep turned upon bigamy , but Mr. Brown snored through it all , though Mr. Legge 's remark that the revelations of that afternoon had thrown a light upon many little things in his behaviour which had hitherto baffled him came perilously near to awaking him . At six in the morning they got under way , the boy going nearly frantic with delight as sail after sail was set , and the ketch , with a stiff breeze , rapidly left London behind her . Mr. Brown studiously ignored him , but the other men pampered him to his heart 's content , and even the cabin was good enough to manifest a little concern in his welfare , the skipper calling Mr. Brown up no fewer than five times that day to complain about his son 's behaviour . `` I ca n't have somersaults on this ` ere ship , Sam , '' he remarked , shaking his head ; `` it ai n't the place for ` em . '' `` I wonder at you teaching ` im such things , '' said the mate , in grave disapprobation .
