"But did you think I would require of you the sacrifice of leaving London now?" "It is my pleasure as well as my duty, captain." "No," he said, "I am not like that. Yesterday I went to the city to see a shipowner whose acquaintance I made when he was a master in the West India trade. He has had some reason to know that I can handle a ship. Never mind what.
