Crossword-Solution: NOGOOD 6 letters, 28 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 8

Nogood, hold a contract made in London by your uncle, a director of this company, to be engaged on arrival as clerk at £10 a week.

Old Nogood, as we called him, was with us for three days, and during that time he never opened his mouth unless to grumble, and never raised his hand except to remove the pipe from his mouth, being too lazy even to light it; a sailor performed that onerous duty for him.

Here is the dialogue, as translated by Ahmud: Pilot (old man with gray whiskers, costume soiled and tattered coffee-bag): “O Mohammed Nogood! send some of your people to move the boat.” Old Nogood: “O pilot, you jack-ass! why do you not attend to the helm and mind your business?” Intense excitement on board, during which the pilot swears by Allah and the Prophet that he will not stay on the boat after such an insult, and goes off in high dudgeon.

The second sheik takes command, and Nogood’s son comes aboard as pilot—very unlike his father, a hard worker and a quiet sort of man.

Old Nogood springs up now with astonishing activity, and snatches the turban from Reis Mohammed’s head.
