To my notion, no one ought to have live stock but the commanders-in-chief." "To the devil with you and the stock! Give me a shake of the hand, and back into your top how came you, sir, to quit your quarters without leave?" "I didn't, Sir Jarvy.
I know'd you, when you was only a young gentleman, and now you're a rear. You're close on our heels; and by the time we are a full admiral, you'll be something like a vice. I looks upon you as bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, Pillardees and Arrestees and I no more minds a setting-down from your honour, than I does from Sir Jarvy, hisself."
"Your business, sir! what has happened to Sir Gervaise?" repeated Bluewater, shaking his long fore-finger menacingly, at the steward. "We are as well, Admiral Blue, as the hour we came over the Planter's side. Sir Jarvy will carry sail with the best on 'em, I'll answer for it, whether the ship floats in old Port Oporto, or in a brewer's vat.
Lord, sir, if this doesn't brighten Sir Jarvy up, again, and put him in mind of old times, I shall begin to think we have run out cable to the better end." "I will speak to him, duke, if you think it advisable?" said Sir Wycherly, in an inquiring manner. "Galleygo," put in Sir Gervaise, "what lubber fitted that cable? he has turned in the clench the wrong way."
"You used to have an eye for a chase, when we were in a frigate, and ought to be able to tell me if Bluewater is in sight." "Admiral Blue! Well, Sir Jarvy, it is remarkable, but I had just rubbed his division out of my log, and forgotten all about it.
"No, Sir Jarvy," answered the top-man, hitching his trowsers with one hand, and smoothing the hair on his forehead with the other; "but out here, to the forward and westward, on our weather-quarter.
"Ay, now you're getting it like a book!" exclaimed Galleygo exultingly, flourishing his stick, and strutting about the little chapel; "that's just the way things was, as I knows from seeing 'em!" "I'm quite certain I'm right, Galleygo?" "Right! your honour's righter than any log-book in the fleet. Give it to 'em, Sir Jarvy, larboard and starboard!"
I never knew a captain, or a flag-officer, that got a regular, expressive ship's name, that he wasn't the delight of the whole service. Yes, sir; I find the people call Sir Gervaise, Little Jarvy, and yourself, Admiral Blue ha-ha-ha an infallible sign of merit in the superior, and of love in the men." "I ought to apologize, Mr.
There is no man whose orders I obey more willingly or more to my own advantage; always excepting those of Admiral Oakes, who, being commander-in-chief, overlays us all with his anchor. We must dowse our peaks to his signals, though we can maintain, without mutinying, that the Cæsar is as good a boat on or off a wind, as the Plantagenet, the best day Sir Jarvy ever saw."
Nullius, nullius, nullius. My memory is excellent, gentlemen; nominative, penna; genitive, pennæ, and so on." "Now, Sir Jarvy, since you're veering out your Latin, I should likes to know if you can tell a 'clove-hitch' from a 'carrick-bend?" "That is an extraordinary question, Galleygo, to put to an old seaman!"
