You work merely as the mill-stream works by simple movement. At lock after lock along a hundred miles, deep-roofed mills shake to the wheel that turns by no greater stress, and you and the river have the same mere force of progress. There never was any kinder incentive of companionship.
"Hello!" said the little gentleman, "that's not the way to answer the door; I'm wet, let me in." To do the little gentleman justice, he was wet.

He did not speak to any of us, but clambered aft, towards the capstan, to which the captain had lashed himself. "The water is rushing in forward like a mill-stream, sir; she is fast settling down by the head." The brig, was, indeed, rapidly losing her buoyancy. "Stand by, to heave the guns overboard."
