clapt il the barge-:ay, and / takes it, had
oft'ner the singing of the Captains cot, nor
his coxen.
"NVell, you know, for more nor live nor
six months, every thing was going on as gay
as goose in gutter, when, coming back to
Spithead from cruize. who should come
off to the ship but the postman, fetching me
a lubberly letter from home, what txes my
fate For you see, the very identical day
that gets it-as the barge, under the charge
of bit of a boy, went to wait for the Cap
tain at Sallv-port steps (the devil coming IN
to my head no sooner she grazes the ground
than out jumps, slap N the surf, and hard
up for the back o the point.

when drops him astarn-whips in wher-

sWell the first thing in course does, was

oveihauling rig after rig, just as tickle as a
naw on the sarfis till | fixes at last on a

pockcts, when docking my tail, and dewsing
NV whiskers close by the boards, powders
my pate, and claps Oh broad, broad chopper
clean over all.
Well, as soon as I was regularly taunto
every thing taut fore -and-aft, and yards
squared with Moses-tor YOU see I'D New
land for ten in the letter-I just takes bit
of overhaul squint in the glass; then glanc-
inp at Moses, who was looking out as sharp
as q shovcl-nose for Moses,
saws I. .by the cut O. my jib, but I'll pass tor
, a parson.-1'ip us your dadtlle,' says !, ne
ver saw die-and scud like mugen, and
hook us berth in the mail.' Well, off he
aies--ay. as fast as if the d---l was in his
! wake with a double piece of pork and
$ clinches a place in crack. Thinks to
: myself, this is running the rig-it'll gee very
e well, if it dosen't get wind in the barracks
e for YOU see, Just at that time, the sogers we're
c looking out sharp for their Struggling mo-
: new Horsepower, you know, as the coach
didn't weigh till after eight, there was,
broupht up in Moses coalhole, just like a
collier in the Lower Hope, waiting tor the
turn of the tide. We'll, at last | weighs
