Excerpt from Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer: His Adventures There is one outlandish fellow who might be 8. Scot, or a Yorkshireman, or a Russian, or some thing like that. But no man could speak his lingo, and none would bid for him at the sale. You may have him as a present if you care, and if perchance he can be found anywhere alive on the island.

... The first shot was just a rib too far back, and though it staggered him, he didn't stop to it. Out tinkled cartridge number one and in went a second, and "cluck" said the breech-block. And then as he slewed round, I got the next bullet home, bang behind the shoulder. That did it.
