Notice was given that volunteers would be required for the service, and immediately the greater part of the officers and crews of the three frigates came forward. Among those who volunteered from the Doris was Mr Bryan, the second lieutenant; Mr Johnson, the boatswain; and Edkins, the captain's coxswain. All were allowed to go.
Edkins came along in his official regalia tall hat, frock coat, umbrella, gloves, and a pink in his button-hole. "Is it true, Captain O'Donnell, that the race is going to be held to-day?" O'Donnell looked at him as though he didn't understand. "To-day? to-day? Good Lord, are we all on the wrong tack? And sure isn't this the day?" "Oh, yes oh, yes, Captain O'Donnell, this is the day appointed.
Edkins—the young gentleman in the green spectacles—makes a speech on every occasion on which a speech can possibly be made: the eloquence of which can only be equalled by its length. In the event of his not being previously appointed to a judgeship, it is probable that he will practise as a barrister in the New Central Criminal Court.
"Well, 'tis a fine wash day, too. Come, Wesley come, Maurice, we'll have to be getting on." They left Mr. Edkins standing there. A little farther on they overtook the manager of the insurance company, which had policies on most of the fishing vessels. He was just about to enter his office when O'Donnell spied him. "Hullo, there's the man I want to see " and hailed, "Just heave to a minute, Mr.

I thanked Mr Bryan, and promised to remember his advice. The next day, with the assistance of the tailor, I got into my uniform, and, after I had had a little time to admire myself, and to wish that my mother and sisters could see me, Edkins appeared to take me and my traps on board. The frigate had gone out to Spithead, where one of England's proud fleets was collected.

After several ineffectual attempts to preserve his perpendicular, the young gentleman, having managed to hook himself to the centre leg of the table with his left hand, proceeded as follows: ‘Ladies and gentlemen. ‘I beg your pardon, Edkins,’ hastily interrupted Mr. Percy Noakes,—‘Hardy, what’s the matter?’
The passenger who had had the box seat was standing near all the time. "He'll find that there's a greater man than he is on board, if he overstays his leave," I heard him remark, with a laugh, as he entered the inn. He was a slight active young man, with a pleasant countenance. "That's our second lieutenant, Mr Bryan," said Edkins to me. "I saw his name on his portmanteau.
Edkins for the first time for 20 years, having last met them on the Flinders River when they were on their honeymoon trip, as I have already related. They now had quite a large family, and made me very welcome. I arrived at Winton driving four grey horses, the two Arabs Mr. Casey broke in for me being splendid leaders.
