Captain Oughton, Newton, and the rest of the officers, continued to encourage the men, giving them assistance in working the guns; and the ship's company appeared to have fully imbibed the bull-dog spirit of their commander. The fire of the Windsor Castle had been equally destructive.
They sit they lounge turn o'er some idle rhyme; Then rising sudden to the glass they go, Or saunter forth with loitering step and slow. Castle of Indolence. Captain Oughton who commanded the Windsor Castle was an original.
Twig the drum-boy, he has turned his coat do you see? with the lining outwards to keep it clean. By Jove, that's a wrinkle!" "How many officers do you expect, Captain Oughton?" "I hardly know they make such alterations in their arrangements; five or six, I believe. The boat went on shore for them at nine o'clock.
The promptitude of Captain Oughton foiled the manoeuvre of the Frenchman; which would have been more fatal had the English seamen been in the rigging to have been swept off by his grape-shot.
With most of the particulars, and with the death of Captain Oughton, she had already been made acquainted; and if there could be any reward to Newton, for his gallantry and his prudence, more coveted than another, it was the affectionate greeting with which he was welcomed and congratulated by Isabel, her eyes beaming with tears of delight as they glanced from his face, and were shrouded on the deck.
"Well, as the tree of knowledge was the tree of evil, perhaps that is the correct reading," replied Ansell, laughing; "Captain Oughton, you are a very sensible man; I hope we shall see you often at our mess, when we're again on shore."
The torrents of blood from his breast at once told the tale: and Newton called to some of the men, that his commander might be taken below. "Wait a moment, my dear lad," said Captain Oughton, faintly, and catching his breath at every word; "it's a finisher can't come to time I die game." His head fell on his breast, and the blood poured out of his mouth.
"Well as the tree of knowledge was the tree of evil, perhaps that is the correct reading," replied Ansell, laughing; "Captain Oughton, you are a very sensible man; I hope we shall see you often at our mess, when we're again on shore."
"Can you make out her hull, Mr Forster?" cried Captain Oughton, hailing Newton, who was at the mast-head with a glass. "No, sir; her fore-yard is but now clear of the water, but she rises very fast." "What do you think of her spars, Forster?" said Captain Oughton to Newton, who had just descended to the last rattling of the main-rigging.
"The fellow has the heels of us, at all events," observed Captain Oughton; "but, Forster, the ladies are not yet below. Mrs Enderby, I am sorry to be obliged to put you in confinement for a short time. Miss Revel, you must do me the favour to accept of Mr Forster's convoy below the water-line." Newton offered his arm to Isabel, and followed Captain Oughton, who escorted Mrs Enderby.
