The whole party stared; for the speaker of these words was none other than Amyas himself, who had rejoined them, a bottle in each hand. "No, Tom Evans. It has been share and share alike for three years, and bravely you have all held up, and share alike it shall be now, and here's the handsel of it.
"How, my lad, came you to say that you have never before served on board a man-of-war?" asked the first lieutenant one day, observing his activity. "Nor have I, sir," answered Ralph, touching his hat. "I never handled a gun before I joined this ship." "You do very well, then, and may look out for a higher rating before long," observed Mr Handsel, passing on.
Austrian Bathyani, summoned hastily out of his Bavarian posts, to succor in this pressing emergency, has arrived in these neighborhoods, some 12,000 regulars under him, preceded by clouds of hussars, whom Ziethen smites a little, by way of handsel; no other Austrian force to speak of hereabouts; and we are now between Bathyani and Prag.
"An English ship would not have given in so soon," observed the first lieutenant. "Not unless she is the smallest," answered the purser, who was addicted to croaking. "Then we shall have the satisfaction of retaking her and thrashing her captor into the bargain," said Mr Handsel. "But what if her captor is bigger than we are?" asked the purser.
Mr Handsel, however, at first considered that it would be extremely hazardous, and he could not spare the necessary number of men for the enterprise. So busy were all hands that no inquiries had been made about the killed and wounded. Few perhaps even thought of their shipmates writhing in agony below.
For she caused to be constructed a very large chamber under ground, and making as though she would handsel it but in her mind devising other things, she invited those of the Egyptians whom she knew to have had most part in the murder, and gave a great banquet. Then while they were feasting, she let in the river upon them by a secret conduit of large size.
A hand was laid on his arm and a young voice cried: Ah, gentleman, your own girl, sir! The first handsel today, gentleman. Buy that lovely bunch. Will you, gentleman?
Breakfast done, the seekers made little delay, so eager as they were to behold the King, and to have handsel of their new sweet life. So they got them ready to depart, and the once-captain said: "Art thou able to lead us to the King, O Raven-son, or must we seek another man to do so much for us?"
The weather, indeed, had already changed for the worse; but still Captain Handsel was unwilling to return to port, when on the point, as he hoped, of meeting the long looked-for foe. A strong breeze was blowing from the northeast, and the frigate was steering south, under all the canvas she could bear. The crew had just been piped to breakfast.
Mr Handsel then told him that as there was no probability of an English master being found at Rio to take the Eagle home, he should direct him to do so, and would furnish him with a document which would enable him to obtain a passage to rejoin the Falcon in India, should he desire to remain in the navy.
