This man criticizes the four hour cycles of shifts and the sleeping hammocks availability, which leads to his reasoning on why sailors have such low life expectancies.
This man criticizes the four hour cycles of shifts and the sleeping hammocks availability, which leads to his reasoning on why sailors have such low life expectancies. This character presents the anecdote of a "Down Easter" searching for his "dunderfunk" and decries "The Massacre of the Beards." He describes a chef who graduated from New York Astor House named Coffee and deems the amputation of a leg by Cadwallader Cuticle unnecessary. This character enjoys the metrical virtuosity of the poet Lemsford, and wonders at the deference the crew shows the Emperor of Brazil. He serves with two different types of lieutenants named (*) Selvagee and Mad Jack, and he also admires Jack Chase. For 10 points, name this sailor aboard the Neversink that serves under Captain Claret, and who gets his nickname from his strange and unlucky piece of apparel, a creation of Herman Melville.
