Captain Dunning, besides being the owner and commander of a South Sea whaleship, was the owner of a large burly body, a pair of broad shoulders, a pair ofimmense red whiskers that met under his chin, a short, red little nose, a large firmmouth, and a pair of light-blue eyes, which, according to their owner's mood, couldflash like those of a tiger or twinkle sweetly like the eyes of a laughing child. But hiseyes seldom flashed; they more frequently twinkled, for the captain was the verysoul of kindliness and good-humour. Yet he was abrupt and sharp in his manner, sothat superficial observers sometimes said he was hasty.Captain Dunning was, so to speak, a sample of three primary colours-red, blue, andyellow-a walking fragment, as it were, of the rainbow. His hair and face, especiallythe nose, were red; his eyes, coat, and pantaloons were blue, and his waistcoat wasyellow.
