The captain came ashore in the morning and stormed and raved at the Consul's, but he had better have kept on board.

I told our friends here all about it, and as he went back to the boat again one of them pitched into him, and gave him such a tremendous licking that I hear he had to be carried on board.
As soon as he got on board the _Northampton_ sailed, so you see here we both are.

I have written off to your father and mine, giving them a full account of the whole affair, and saying what a brute Collet had been on the whole voyage.

They will be sure to lay the letters before the firm, and as Allen and Smith will, when they are questioned, speak out pretty straight, you may be sure the old man and his friend, the first mate, will have to look for a berth somewhere else." "It is awfully good of you to have come ashore to nurse me, Tom." "Bosh! Why, I have got away from the _Northampton_.

I found, too, that as far as nursing was concerned I might as well have stayed on board, for Dave here and his two mates have, one or other of them, been with you night and day, and they could not have taken more care of you if they had been women.
