For instance: In one of the best hotels, a tanned bos'un called for the bill for himself and three companions. "No," ho declared, "It's too much," as the waiter laid down a bit of paper with a column of figures on it. "How do you know its loo much, you haven't looked at it yet?" one of his friends remonstrated. "It's always too much the first time," the bos'un replied without moving his hand from the pile of Peruvian currency he had placed on the table. "I've been in France and I know." A long argument ensued in English by the sailor and Spanish by the waiter. Finally the latter retired i with a gesture of despair and a captain took his place. He. top, quit after prolonged argument n'ptl many gestures. "He's gone to call the cops," ventured one of the guests. : "No he won't," affirmed the bos'un.
