Her condition occupied her aunt and Biddy, and Spike was enabled to reach his brig without any further interruption. Rose was taken on board still nearly insensible, while her two female companions were so much confused and distressed, that neither could have given a reasonably clear account of what had just occurred. Not so with Jack Tier, however.
A long time after the bursting of the shell, Leonard heard the grumble of the cannon that had fired it." "Now, lads," shouted Caradoc, "go below and bring up some rockets!" The men set off with a will, but Madden viewed the situation without any thrill of patriotism to gild a death under the union jack. The cruisers were slowly coming into full view.
Jack, having made his speech, made a very polite bow and took his leave, stating that he was an English officer belonging to a frigate in the harbour.

"Well, I am very glad, old fellow, that you and the rest have escaped," said Tom, "and I hope that we three shall be as fortunate as were my brother Jack and his two friends, when they were midshipmen."
