when Midshipman Walters came af

read it, helped himself literally to the
captains sherry on the cabin side

cabin skylight and saw the midship

came up on deck to heave the log thu
captain addressed him as follows:
How is the barometer, sir?"
Walters saluted and said: Stead

The captain then asked: And hov

Walters was taken aback, but will
