An orangutan has his chin covered with tufts like . . ." like," he went on, "shall we say, that gentleman sitting there at the next table." We all looked round and that man with the beard went up to the sailor and slapped his face. The sailor then broke his head with a beer bottle and the bearded gentleman fell down and lay unconscious. We said goodbye to that sailor, because he went away at once when he saw he had very nearly slain the man. Then we revived the gentleman, which we certainly shouldn't have done, because as soon as he was revived he called the police against all of us, although we had had absolutely nothing to do with it, and the police took us off to the police station. There he went on saying that we had taken him for an orangutan and that we had been talking about nothing else but him. And so he went on. But we objected and said he wasn't an orangutan. And he said, yes, he was one, he'd heard it. I asked the police commissioner if he would explain it to him. And he explained it to him quite good-naturedly, but even then that fellow wouldn't hear of it and told the commissioner that he didn't understand anything about it and was in league with us. And so the commissioner had him locked up to sober him, and we wanted to go back to The Tunnel, but we couldn't because we were put into clink too. So you see, corporal, what can come out of a small and unimportant misunderstanding, which is not worth mentioning.
