From a 1946 newspaper:

The old sailor had retired from the sea. Each morning a youngster knocked at his door, went in, and came out again. After this had gone on for some weeks the curiosity of the neighbors was aroused.

“Tell me,†said one neighbor to the youngster, “why do you visit that old sailor every morning?â€

“Well, sir, he gives me a nickel if I say to him. “The captain wants you immediately!â€

“And what does he say to that?â€

“He says, “Tell the captain to go to the devil!â€
