Seated in a cabin with his messmates, Davy listens to the tales of the "harem" skirts, the Sultan's many charming wives. He listens and smokes the Turkish hookah, and gradually falls into a deep sleep, indulging in a pipe dream of love escapades with the inmates of the harem. The thoughts of his delightful dreams are constantly in his mind. He flirts with every veiled female he meets, insisting that they withdraw the covering from their beautiful features, to find a lemon where he expected a peach. Finally he gains access to one of the crows, by whom he is surrounded and ardently wooed, from which there seems to be no possibility of escape. To add to his tortures, the mother-in-law of one of the "caricatures" insists upon making "goo goo" eyes at him, and winning his oft-tested affections. He goes from bad to worse by incurring the animosity of the Sultan, when he finds the giddy Davy creating havoc in his family, whereupon a thorough house cleaning occurs, by every dod-gasted better-half being thrown out of the window; which performance divorces the Sultan from all of them without alimony. Davy doesn't wait to be fired out; he jumps out the window, and as in other exploits of this kind, he manages to get out of harm's way by jumping into a convenient boat, sculling to his ship lying in the harbor. Safely in his cabin with his faithful Poll, he congratulates himself and declares a harem is a delusion and a snare, the charms of its inmates are grossly exaggerated and not in his class.
