by his Majesty's vessels and Revenue erulzen: they now share in
the same way as prizes taken in war from the enemy. The Com-

any thing in sight or a *mad of war, then the Lieutenant com-

to the other boys. There was rather a swell at' the

the boy was punished again. Gibson had some dirty
clothes below, and one of the crew laid them on the
capstern. The Captain saw them, and called Gibson
up, bad him fastened to a starboard gua, and gave .
the lad four dozen himself. The boy, as an excise .
said he had no soap. The deck was stained with the

June, Gibson had a bile upon his knee, and when
that went off, his legs began to swell ; about the end
of the month the Captain gave the lad a very severe
starting with a thick rope (produced by witness),
and chased him all roand the decks. On the Gth of
July, the binnacle lamp had not.been trimmed, and
it was Gibson's turn to do it : the CaPtsin then took
