- Abstract
-
"Five sailors sit together on deck; all smoke or drink except the Welshman who sits with a hand on each knee, gazing in innocent suprise at a man who leans forward to say impressively: "And so then do you see David we sprung a leak". The Welshman answers: "Cot pless us-- and save us--did you! and a ferry coot fetchitable it is. I should have liked to have had a pit with you". They sit on chests, a cask, and a coil of rope, at the base of masts and rigging. Beside the narrator is a tobacco-jar inscribed 'Real Oronooko'. This (reversed) closely resembles 'A Leak at Sea' in British Museum Satires No. 11133."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
