Now-a-days nearly all ships trading touch at Matok Harbour or Renkill, where the anchorage is good and wood and water, provisions and produce cheaper and easier to be procured. The King of Metalanim and his favourite courtier and factstom. David Lumpel, are two carious personages. The latter picked up his English and his manners together fram a whaling-wassel. Verð, sap. The former is a gloomy, merose old man, who turned religious in his old age in order to dodge the slow and crimes of his youth. He has a great hatred and contempt of the Macha polopot, or white facer, which is as cordially reciprocated by all of them who have met him. He draws the princely salary of twenty dollars a month from the Spanish to keep him in good homeur; and so the farce goes on.
