I am a Catholique, you is a schismatique; you thing it is wrong to dring some coffee well, then, it is wrong; you thing it is wrong to make the sugah to ged the so large price well, then, it is wrong; I thing it is right well, then, it is right; it is all 'abit; c'est tout. What a man thing is right, is right; 'tis all 'abit.
Dring says: "My station in the boat as we hauled alongside, was exactly opposite one of the air-ports in the side of the ship. From this aperture proceeded a strong current of foul vapor of a kind to which I had been before accustomed while confined on board the Good Hope, the peculiar disgusting smell of which I then recollected, after a lapse of three years.
At the ringing of this shrill bell Rose shuddered like a maniac, and grovelled on her knees to Raynal, and seized his very knees and implored him to show some pity. "O sir! kill us! we are culpable" Dring! dring! dring! dring! dring! pealed the baroness's bell again. "But do not tell our mother. Oh, if you are a man! do not! do not! Show us some pity. We are but women. Mercy! mercy! mercy!"
These extracts are all taken from the Introduction to Captain Dring's Recollections, written by Mr. H. B. Dawson, in June, 1865. Captain Dring was born in Newport, R. I., on the third of August, 1758. He died in August, 1825, in Providence, R. I., and was about 67 years of age at the time of his death. He was many years in the merchant service, and wrote his recollections in 1824.
At nine that night the two, as agreed upon, met at Dring in the hotel stables. There had been no mishaps. The groom was busy putting the horse into the trap, and, when Jack saw what a really smart turn-out Acton had engaged, his fears began to occupy less of his thoughts and the pleasures of a rattling hour's spin a jolly lot more.
Edouard, seeing her hesitation, came down on her other side. "Whose is the child, Rose?" said he sternly. "You, too? Why were we born? mercy! oh! pray let me go to my sister." Dring! dring! dring! dring! dring! went the terrible bell.
He went on to say that Death passed over such human skeletons as himself as unworthy of his powers, but that he delighted in making the strong, the youthful, and the vigorous, his prey. After the prisoners had been made to descend the hatchways, these were then fastened down for the night. Dring says it was impossible for him to find one of his companions in the darkness.
"Speak out then," groaned Raynal. "What does this mean? Why has my wife swooned at sight of me? whose is this child?" "Whose?" stammered Rose. Till he said that, she never thought there COULD be a doubt whose child. Dring! dring! dring! dring! dring! "Oh, my God!" cried the poor girl, and her scared eyes glanced every way like some wild creature looking for a hole, however small, to escape by.
They then formed themselves into messes of six each, and next morning drew their scanty pittance of food. We have said that Dring and the other officers on board solved the problem of living with comparative comfort on board the Jersey. As they were officers, the gun-room was given up to their use, and they were not so terribly crowded as the common sailors.
"I was first confined on the Good Hope, in the year 1779, then lying in the North River opposite the city of New York, but after a confinement of more than four months, I succeeded in making my escape to the Jersey shore." Captain Dring is said to have been one of the party who escaped from the Good Hope in October, 1779. The New Jersey papers thus described the escape.
