your voyage i am honoured in enjoying your s society the captain but i am sorry that your be so afflicted yes indeed it is the cursed glare of the sun on the white streets of which has gone fer to bum them out � � � i had heard also that you had been by a yes i have had a which has reduced me much we had set aside a cabin for your surgeon ah the rascal there was no him for he has a snug business amongst the merchants but hark he raised his ring covered hand in the air from there came the low deep thunder of cannon captain it is om the cried the c in astonishment can it be a signal for us to put back � the governor laughed you have heard that the is to be hanged this morning i ordered the to salute when the rascal was kicking his last so that i might know of it out at sea there s an end of there s an end of cried the captain and tiie crew took up the as they � d in httle knots upon the deck and stared back at the low purple line of the vanishing land it was a cheering omen for their start across the western ocean and the invalid governor found himself a popular man on board for it was generally understood that but for his upon an immediate trial and sentence the villain might have played upon some more judge and so escaped at dinner that day sir charles gave many anecdotes of the deceased and so was he and so skilful in his to men of lower degree that captain mate and governor smoked their long pipes and drank their as three good comrades should and what re did cut in the dock asked the he is a man of some presence said the i had that he was an ugly devil remarked the mate well i dare say he could look ugly upon occasions said the governor i have heard a new say that he could not forget his eyes said l captain they were of the with red was that not so sir charles alas my own es will not permit me to know much of those of others t i remember now that the said that he had such an eye as you describe and added that the jury were so foolish as to be visibly when it was turned upon it is well for them that he is dead for he was a man who would never forget an injury and if he had laid hands upon any one of them he would have stuffed him with straw and him for a figure head the idea seemed to amuse the for he broke suddenly into a high the two laughed also but not so heartily for they remembered that was not the last who sailed the western seas and that as grotesque a te might come to be their own another bottle was to drink to a pleasant voyage and the governor would drink just one other on the top of it so that the were glad at last to the one to his watch and the other to his but after his four hours spell the mate came down again he was amazed to see the governor in his wig his glasses and his gown still seated at the lonely table with his pipe and six black bottles by his side i have drunk with the governor of st s when he was sick said he and god forbid tiiat i should ever try to keep pace with him when he is well the voyage of the morning star was a one and in about three weeks she was at the captain of the british channel from the first day the had to recover his strength and before they were half way across the atlantic he was save only for his es as well as any man upon the ship those who the qualities of wine might point to him in triumph for never a night passed that he did not repeat the performance of his first one and yet he would be out upon deck in the early as fresh and as the best of them peering about with his weak eyes and asking questions about the sails and the for he was anxious to learn the ways of the sea and he made up for the deficiency of his eyes by obtaining leave from the captain that the new england seaman � he who had been cast away in the boat � should lead him about and above all that he should sit beside him when he played cards and count the number of the for he could not tell the king firom the it was natural that this should do the governor willing service since the one was the victim of the and the other was his one could see that it was a pleasure to the big american to lend his arm to the invalid and at night he would stand with all respect behind his chair in the cabin and lay his great forefinger upon the card which he should play between them there was little in the pockets ther of or of the first mate by the time they sighted the and it was not long before they found that they had heard of the nigh temper of sir charles fell short of the mark at a sign of opposition or a wind of argument his chin would shoot captain out from his his nose would be cocked at a hi er and more insolent angle and his cane would whistle up over his shoulder he cracked it once over the head of the carpenter when the man had accidentally him upon the deck once too when there was some and
