I was of an extremely nervous disposition, recently increased by late hours; I could not bear the slightest start. He seemed much concerned. 'You must be in a devil of a state! said he; 'though of course it was my fault damnably silly, vulgar sort of thing to do! A thousand apologies! But you really must be run down; you should consult a medico.
But poor Signor Mezzi refused to be comforted even by such a prospect; and even our medico himself, when he found the ship still remaining in her unusual position, and heard the uproar going on overhead, began to entertain some very disagreeable doubts as to the possibility of the event to which he was alluding actually occurring, and looked very blue about the gills; whereat little Scribble, the clerk, laughed heartily at him, and seated himself on the table, with his feet on the side of the ship, affirming that he was not afraid, and was as contented and happy as ever the truth being, not that the young donkey was a bit more brave than the other two, but that he had not the sense to know the danger he was in, and that not a seaman on board but saw that the next moment might be his last.
But the black men know no better. I do. Ha, ha! You will let me have a few pounds for my own pistols?" "And that long gun of yours too?" said the skipper. "Yes," said the Spaniard. "As your medico says, one never knows what savage people one may meet. It is good too behind a bullet for our friends here in the river. You have seen them?"
Twice I caught a glimpse of some one whom I had known in the old days one man was Murgatroyd, the black and white artist, and the other Doctor O'Hara, the good-natured Irish medico who had once set a broken finger for me. The latter was coming out of his house as we passed, and I felt a mischievous longing to jump off the bus and introduce myself to him, just to see what he would do.
None of the other boats seem to be in company, but as she is flying her ensign at the peak," the launch, it may be mentioned, was rigged as a fore-and-aft schooner "I suppose it's all right."

The prisoners were immediately secured; and the bulk of the "Scourge's" crew shifted into the prize, a sufficient number only being left on board the brig to work her; the wounded also were retained on board the frigate, where there was of course much better and more roomy accommodation for them; our worthy medico shifting over, bag and baggage, to look after us.

General Vinton, who had again entered and was a close listener, and was observed to be studying the witness closely, presently beckoned to one of the doctors and said a word in undertone to him. The medico shook his head. There was a lull in the proceedings a moment.
And notwithstanding our entreaties, he did return as he came, and descending the tree, began apparently to argue with the little Medico, and to endeavour to persuade him to ascend, and make his escape as he himself had done; but it would not do. Pavo Real as brave a little man as ever was seen made many salaams and obeisances, but move he would not.
"The refuge of the mystified medico. It doesn't satisfy you?" "It won't satisfy the State Department." "And possibly not the newspapers, eventually." "Come up with me and look the place over, Average. Let me send for the manager." That functionary came, a vision of perturbation in a pale-gray coat.
