27   VII|       phlegm of a true seaman.~ ~Musli had not yet sufficiently
28   VII|          more, sternly regarding Musli straight between the eyes.~ ~
29   VII|             Instead of answering Musli simply proceeded to wind
30   VII|     drawing his sword.~ ~But now Musli twisted the pole round so

42    XI|       Patrona to deny him.~ ~Now Musli was a sly dog. He knew very
43    XI|         of hearing, which suited Musli exactly, as he had, by nature,
44    XI|       three times over; but when Musli said to him that if he would
