" "Why, you don't think that I'm going to be fired at for nothing?" replied the boatswain.

"I think it is at least seventy feet long!" "Good!" added the boatswain.

The hoarse commands ceasedthe boatswains and their mates laid aside their calls, and the echoing midshipmen no longer found orders to repeat.

" [Illustration: "'I gives you the two quid afore you go into the house,' continued the boatswain."

Somebody cut the boatswain, didn't they?

" "He is not in his state-room, sir," answered Griffin, "and I directed the boatswain to pipe away all the boats' crews, as I came up the ladder.

The third night after the action, being curious to understand how affairs stood, I took the supercargo and twenty stout fellows with me, and landed about two hours before midnight, at the same place where those Indians stood the night before, and there we divided our men into two bodies, the boatswain commanding one, and I another.

"Whatwhat's the matter?" gasped the boatswain.

"A regular-built snake-in-the-grass!" growled the boatswain, Mr. Strand, who was taking a look at the lugger over the hammock cloths of the waist, as he stood on the heel of a spare topmast to do so; "I never fell in with a scamp that had a more dn-my-eyes look!"

That is what Captain Hull did, for he was seen for a moment hoisting the boatswain on a wreck.

On 28th the discovery met with a nasty accident during a gale; the fore and main tacks carried away, killing one man, and seriously injuring the boatswain and two others.

"I waswas going to seewhether I could do anything for 'im," quavered the boatswain.

Hang 'em!" "And you didn't?" queried the boatswain, eyeing him keenly.

The stranger stopped as he reached the seated boatswain and eyed him pleasantly.

" "It would be robbing the boatswains of no small part of their duty, were the punishments to be sent out of the different vessels," answered Cuffe, smiling.

The master then desired him to send his boatswain to make the report.

"Won't you come down here, Mrs. Waters?" called the boatswain, looking up so suddenly that Mr. Travers's head bumped painfully against the side of the window.
