Nelson naturally hoped that his long and eminent services in that particular field, and the conspicuous ability he had shown on so many occasions, would lead to the station remaining permanently in his hands, and that Lord Keith, who was now in England, would succeed in due course to the Channel Fleet, whose commander, Lord Bridport, soon after retired.
Occasionally his head popped out of unexpected places aloft, then disappeared again. Once she heard a great noise, followed by silence. She called to him and, after a pause, he shouted down that he was all right. When an hour had passed she called out again to tell him to come back to her. "We're going to Bridport to tea," she said. He came immediately and revealed a badly torn trouser leg.
This so exasperated the crew that it was with difficulty Admiral Gardner escaped with his life from the ship. The red or bloody flag was now seen flying from the Royal George, and that of Lord Bridport was struck. The mutineers also loaded all the guns, keeping a watch the same as at sea; every officer being detained on board his respective ship.
"Abel shall help us to see his point of view, and we'll help him to feel who his best friends are," promised Estelle. Raymond had astonished Bridport and staggered Bridetown with a wondrous invention.
It'll drive you mad if you're not careful. Then where shall I be?" "I'll drive other people mad not you. I'll come back home, and then I'll find work at Bridport." "Where's home going to be that's the question?" Sabina answered. "There's only one choice for you between letting him finish your education and going out to work."
He tore up his aunt's letter and ignored it. Instead of going to Bridport, he went to his office and worked as usual. At dinner time he expected Sabina, but she did not come and he heard from Mr. Best that she was not at the works. "She came in here and gave notice on Saturday afternoon," said the foreman, shortly, and turned away from Raymond even as he spoke.
Now he'll tell everybody in Bridport about you coming up here in the dinner-hour. Come and cheer me up. I'm bothered to death." He kissed her and put his arms round her, but she would not stop. "I can't stay here," she said. "I want to walk up the hill with you. If you're bothered, so am I, my darling." He put on his hat and they went out together. "I've had a nasty jar," she told him.
They talked for two hours to no purpose and then Estelle called them to tea. Raymond and Sabina spent a long afternoon at the house they had taken; and while he was interested with the stables and garden, she occupied herself indoors. She was very tired before they had finished, and presently, returning to Bridport, they called at 'The Seven Stars' and ordered tea.
Coventry was a sub-governor of the South-Sea House, and it was he who presented Lamb's friend, James White, to Christ's Hospital. He was M.P. for Bridport from 1754 to 1780. As an illustration of Coventry's larger benefactions it may be remarked that he presented £10,000 worth of South Sea stock to Christ's Hospital in 1782. Samuel Salt. Samuel Salt was the son of the Rev.
Fear is a contagious thing; it seems to pass from spirit to spirit, like a flame along a powder train, till perhaps a whole army feels it. Our horsemen pulled up among us in Chideock in as bad a scare as you ever saw; it was twenty minutes before they dared walk back to find out what had happened to the foot at Bridport, after their retreat. Our foot came back very angry with the horse.
