✦ Synopsis

Captain Hogg was of a curious shape, like a huge pear. I thought he looked as friendly as a firing-squad.

I proffered the bottle.’ Your stomach mixture, sir.’

Perhaps the ship’s drugs had degenerated with time, but some unplanned reaction occurred within the bottle. With a sharp pop the cork flew into the air.

‘You may find this a little strong,’ I said, picking up the cork quickly.’ I recommend taking it well diluted.’

‘Your cap,’ growled the Captain.

‘Why aren’t you wearing it? There’s no tramp ship stuff about this vessel. This is my ship, Doctor. My ship. If we get that straight we shall rub along splendidly together.’
