The Evil Eye and a Sailor’s Lucky Eye
Jim Butterworth, a sailor aboard the Mary Robinson, loses an eye in Tangier then buys a glass artificial eye in Naples. His new eye, odd and unsettling, becomes famous on shore but saves the ship when pirates approach in the Malay archipelago. The crew, saved by his eye and daring, makes him third mate and jokes are punished.
