At first she positively refused, but as I pressed her, she at last consented, and I was very happy to give them to her as she was very kind to me, and I thought, with her husband, that she was a very charming woman.

Mr Trotter came down very cross, because the first lieutenant had found fault with him.

He swore that he would cut the service--that he had only remained to oblige the captain, who said that he would sooner part with his right arm, and that he would demand satisfaction of the first lieutenant as soon as he could obtain his discharge.

The first lieutenant had told him, he said, that he was not worth his salt, and blood only could wipe away the insult.
