ship-loadsof between seven and eight thousand tons.Shewould pick up the grain in the Argentine orAustralia,the sugar in Cuba or Mauritius,thetimber in the Baltic or the Gulf of Mexico andnobody ever knew where she would show up next,which made her a true tramp steamer.  \nOne bright summer day she pushed her way intothe River Tyne to load a cargo of coal for Genoa.  \nAt that time she carried only two apprentices-Jake Blyth and Joe Cornforth-but there was roomaboard her for three and,a couple of days or sobefore she was ready for sea,the owners decided to  \n5  \nship another one to make the number up.Jake gotthe news from the Mate and broke it to Corny atbreakfast time.  \n\"We've got to stand by to receive a new ship-mate,\"he said  \n\"Oh no!\"Corny put down his knife and fork andstared across the mess-room table with his mouthopen.\"You're kidding,aren't you?\"  \n\"Not on your life.\"Jake shook his head.He wasa great bull of a fellow with hands like hamsalthough he was still a long way short of his seven-teenth birthday.\"He's a chap called Ironside and  \nhe joins tomorrow.This is his first ship and theMate says we're to look out for him and help himsettle in.”  \n“A greenhorn!That's all I needed!It makes myday!\"Corny pushed his plate aside,having madesure it was empty first;then he started to fill upwith bread and marmalade.“You're taking it verycalmly,I must say,and you can have him for me.I don't fancy wiping the little toad's snotty noseand tucking him into his bunk at night;or seeinghe washes behind his ears in the morning andchanges his socks when he gets his feet wet.\"  \nGREENHORN  \n\"You won't have to.He's done two years in anautical school.That means he won't be all thatgreen,so pipe down and give him a chance,willyou!“”  \nCorny subsided.He was a bouncy,cocky littlechap with red hair and a fat round face that had anose like a piece of sponge rubber stuck on itamong the freckles.For a minute or so he concen-trated on stuffing himself and,while he did so,hiseyes roamed round the mess-room.  \nThe Limpopo was no luxury liner.When she wasbuilt,and that was quite a long time ago,every-thing not strictly necessary for the job she had to dowas left out of her.So she had no snowy-whitepromenade decks,no shini","cbCaih2OuRQxnfVT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih2OuRQxnfVT","pdf",2623657,54,"English","# Shipmates\n## The Limpopo
