Is my barge ashore, Lord Geoffrey Cleveland ?" "It is, sir, as well as the cutter for Mr.Cornet and the quarter-masters." "It is well.

Gentlemen, we will go on board; the Caesar must weigh and join the other vessels in the offing.

I will follow you to the landing, but you will shove off, at once, and desire Captain Stowel to weigh and cast to-port.

We will fill on the starboard tack, and haul directly off the land." The whole party immediately left the station, hurrying down to the boats, leaving Bluewater and Sir Reginald to follow more leisurely.

It was a critical moment for the baronet, who had so nearly effected his purpose, that his disappointment would have been double did he fail of his object altogether.
