Certain it is, that Isabel, as soon as she had recovered from her alarm, thanked Newton Forster, with a sweet smile, for his timely aid, as she again took the arm of Captain Drawlock, who escorted her to the weather-side of the quarter-deck. "I have brought you one of your protegees, Mrs Ferguson," said Captain Drawlock. "How do you feel, Miss Revel?"
Newton could contain himself no longer. "My dear Miss Revel, let me persuade you to compose yourself," said he, taking her hand, which was not withdrawn. "If you feel on this occasion, so do I most deeply most deeply, because I can only lament, and dare not offer to assist you. The means of returning to your own country I can easily procure from Captain Drawlock; but would you accept it from me?

Captain Drawlock lost his footing, and was thrown to leeward. Isabel would most certainly have kept him company; and indeed was already under weigh for the lee-scuppers, had not it been that Newton Forster, who stood near, caught her round the waist, and prevented her from falling.

Miss Revel, we had better go in." "Stop!" again cried Captain Drawlock, in a loud voice. "Stop!" repeated Mrs Ferguson, angrily; "surely we are not slaves."
"Do I intrude, Miss Revel?" said Newton, who could not repress his emotion at the sight. "Oh, no! I expected and wished that you would return, Mr Forster. Do you think that you could find Captain Drawlock? I should feel much obliged if you would take that trouble for me." "I will immediately go in search of him, if you wish it.
"Really, madam, I cannot tell; but it is my duty to inquire," replied the colonel, who, going up to Captain Drawlock, commenced "Have the ladies already so fallen in your estimation " "Forty degrees!" cried Captain Drawlock, who was intent upon his sextant. "Excuse me, sir, just now." "When will you be at leisure, sir?" resumed the colonel, haughtily.

"Mrs Ferguson, will you permit me to send you a little mulligatawny?" said Captain Drawlock: "If you prefer it, there is sheep's head broth at the other end of the table." "Then I will take a little of the broth, if you please, Captain Drawlock." "Mr Mathews, Mrs Ferguson will take some broth.
But Mr Ferguson was not a sailor, or he would have known that it is the custom to reduce the grace in proportion with the canvass. When the royals are set, we submit to a homily; under double-reefed topsails, a blessing; but under storm stay-sails, an ejaculation is considered as orthodox. "Mrs Ferguson, will you permit me to send you a little mulligatawney? said Captain Drawlock.
