"Why, there must be help coming from down the river," cried the doctor excitedly. "Yes, hark at that!"
But, hark ye, Mr Lascelles, never, for the future, presume to form any opinion good or bad upon your captain's conduct; nor, under any circumstances, attempt to put him right. You are too young and too inexperienced to be capable of forming a just judgment of the actions of your superiors; moreover, a midshipman's duty is to obey, not to judge or advise his superior officers.
"Drink, Brooks drink, old fellow," he exclaimed; "as you are a true man, drink, and don't fight shy of the critter! Don't you see how I drive ahead, and don't care for the hind wheels? It's all owing to whiskey! Grog, I say Hark ye, Mr. Pedler grog, I say, is the wheels of life: it carries a man for'ad. Why don't men go for'ad in the world? What's the reason now? I'll tell you.

Now it grew louder, fainter now, and now it altogether died away. Presently, it came again, subsided, came once more, grew louder, fainter swelled into a roar.

Hark! by Cod's body, I hear 'em ringing the alarm-bell most dreadfully, as the Gascons about Bordeaux used formerly to do against the commissaries and officers for the tax on salt, or my ears tingle. Let's sheer off. Believe me, sir, said Friar John, let's rather land; we will rid the world of that vermin, and inn there for nothing. Old Nick go with thee for me, quoth Panurge.
