As soon as she was seen from the Bloodhound, Captain Jones ordered that the guns of the Bloodhound's gunboats should open a deliberate flanking fire on the west part of the enemy's defences; and he then sent a boat under Mr Bullen, his clerk, who was acting as his aide-de-camp, to point out to Captain Lyster the position in which he wished the Teazer to be anchored.
"I was rather staggered by this news, of course, and when she added: 'If you would only try, Mr. Bullen, and should succeed in saving the brave men in that fort, I should ever esteem you among the very dearest of my friends, my resolution was instantly taken.
"You believe," Selingman persisted, "that I did not take an exaggerated or distorted view of the situation, as discussed between you and Mr. Bullen, when I reported that civil war in Ireland was inevitable?" "It is inevitable," Norgate agreed. Selingman sat for several moments in portentous silence. "We are on the threshold of great events," he announced.
"I can assure you that I am perfectly harmless." "It is Bullen's voice," one of them exclaimed, and all crowded round him, and wrung his hands and patted him on the back. "This is the second time, Bullen, that you have come back to us from the dead; and this time, like Hamlet's father, you have come back with very questionable disguise.
And now that same prophecy has come to pass Lillibullero, bullen ala; For Talbot's the Dog, and James is the Ass, Lillibullero, bullen ala.

Ensign Christie and Paymaster Bullen, permit me to present Ensign Donald Hester of the 60th, son of my dear friend the major, and brother of the very prettiest girl I know.
