Tide tipped his mug up for a quick drink then held it out to Button again. "You know many shanties, or does Murray there need to do some teachin'?"

"Know some. Not's many as you, prob'ly," Terry said, looking up at the mug was shoved under his nose again. "Um. You sure?" he said doubtfully, before reaching for the mug.

"What, me? I don't know any, hardly. Haven't got a singin' voice anyway. Go on!"

Tide's generosity was fueled as much by his good nature as the fact that he had already enjoyed a full tot of rum before coming on deck.

Terry took the mug with a grin, and had a mouthful, more prepared this time for the taste and strength of the neat rum it held. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and offered the mug back.

"I ain't... They ain't come to hear a nipper like me, though," he said, settling back down with his back to the gun-truck, feeling a little light-headed because of the alcohol.

Terry grinned and pulled up his legs, resting his chin on his knees as he looked up at the shantyman and the two singers he'd interrupted earlier. It was kind of nice, not to be told to shut up and shove off.

By now, Murray and Mister Small had launched into a spirited rendition of 'Bully in the Alley'. Tide grinned.

The quartermaster nodded and helped himself to the tin mug of the seaman beside him, who'd abandoned his seat in order to dance. "Aye, that'd be close to what he sounds like, does Chase."

"Whattabout you then?" Terry said, putting a hand over his mouth just a shade too late. He looked up at the quartermaster from round brown eyes, hoping he'd not said anything that would mean he would be in too much trouble.

That rum must be strong stuff!

"What 'bout me?" Lemon wanted to know, thoughtlessly barging into the conversation. In between, of course, healthy pulls from his mug of wine.

Sing? There was a good one! "Like a dead fish," Lemon replied.

"I ain't got a voice in me, even bein' Welsh, like." Mister Evans, whatever he was, gave a shrug - and, Lemon thought, eyed his mug as thought coveting it. That thought made him take another long swallow. Nobody but him would get this wine!

"Oh." There didn't seem much else he could say to that.

"So help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Way, hey, bully in the alley.
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Bully down in Shinbone Al..."

Joining in with a chorus, what did it matter whether someone could sing, or not?

Well who knew. The nipper, at least, could sing. Why'd he need to ask them if they could, then?

"Why's us needed if youse can sing?" Might as well ask.

To be truthful, neither did Lemon. Though he did realise that his mug was now empty when he tipped it up to drink from it.

"What bloody foolery's this? It's gone empty."

That Mister Evans fellow glanced over with a raised eyebrow. "The hole in the top of it might 'xplain why," he remarked placidly.

Lemon simply blinked at him, uncomprehending.

"I ain't any more - hic! Mister Evans gave me sippers of his'n, though." He swallowed determinedly; he didn't want the older sailors to think he couldn't hold his drink or any such nonsense.
