They lie usually in divisions of ten or twelve; and a master in the navy has a command over every division.
At length I began my journey.

I boarded all the ships of war lying in ordinary at Deptford, and examined the different persons in each.

From Deptford I proceeded to Woolwich, where I did the same.

Thence I hastened to Chatham, and then, down the Medway, to Sheerness.

I had now boarded above a hundred and sixty vessels of war.
