Enter Dutchman.
Dutchman. Yaw, yaw, that vessel is now no more.
Irishman. Arrah, I say, is that ship come in yet?
Dutchman. Ship come in! Vot, have you not heard the news?
Irishman. News! What news?
Dutchman. That ship has sunk—gone to the very bottom.
Irishman. What! With all on board?
Dutchman. Yes; all are drowned.
Irishman. Then my wife’s mother is gone, too. (he puts his hands up to his face and cries.)
