"`The famed Belle Poule straight ahead did lie, The Arethusa seemed to fly, Not a brace, or a tack, or a sheet did we slack On board of the Arethusa." "No, no, mate, you was not aboard the Arethusa!" cried Jack Peek, who had followed his captain at a short distance, and looking Tom in the face. "You was not aboard the Arethusa.
