>From Chapter 127:

He’s always under the Line—fiery hot, I tell ye! He’s looking this
way—come, oakum; quick. Here we go again. This wooden mallet is the cork,
and I’m the professor of musical glasses—tap, tap!”

Is the "cork" here a stopper for a bottle, or is it something else? What
does it have to do with musical glasses (glass harmonica)?
