Occasionally, the superior reading of the juniors would peep out, and give them the advantage of knowledge, even with regard to circumstances, over those who had been personal actors in the affairs they spoke of. The most zealous of these detail narrators, were the quarter-master of the regiment, and Delme's right-hand neighbour, Major Clifford.
The living were carried aft to the cabin, where the surgeon, assisted by Hawsepipe, devoted all his energies to their restoration, while the quarter-master and I returned to the deck to look after the safety of the ship.
If they are foreign subjects residing for business in this, country, they are entitled to consideration and protection so long as they obey the laws of the country. If they occupy houses belonging to absent rebels, they must pay rent to the quarter-master. If they own property, they must occupy it by themselves, tenants, or servants. Eighth.
The only provision he made was that he was to take no murderous action against his countrymen. The man at the helm and the quarter-master being the only men on deck, and I being gone to roost, all seemed easy enough, but Providence willed it otherwise.
I exclaimed, and straightway got angry, partly at my own folly, partly at the perversity of my pet, and also somewhat nettled by the tone not very unreasonably assumed by the doctor. "Send Black, the quarter-master, here directly." He soon came. "Don't you take care of the monkey?" I asked. "Yes, sir, I do. You gave me charge of him." "Well! and why don't you prevent his biting the people?"
But it was the bedroom itself which Nussler looked at with a shudder," Nussler and we: "in the middle of it stood Walrave's own bed, on his right hand that of his Wife, and on his left that of his Mistress:" a brutish polygamous Walrave! "This Mistress was a certain Quarter-Master's Wife," Quarter-Master willing, it is probable, to get rid of such an article gratis, much more on terms of profit.
The admiral, at my request, also gave Captains Peters and Green permission to go home with me. Mungo, the black man, and Thompson, the quarter-master, with the midshipman who had been with me in the boat, were also of the party.
Captain Johnson, therefore, was determined to rob Ives of the glory of being the first to take a steamboat to the head of navigation, and he did it with a steamboat much larger than that of Ives which failed to pass Black Canyon. The General Jesup, named after the quarter-master general of the Army, was 108 feet long, 28 feet beam, and drew 2 feet, 6 inches of water.
The wet and heavy sails now flapped from the shifting of the wind. "Up with the helm, quarter-master." "Up it is she's off to south-by-west." The wind lulled, the rain came down in a deluge for a minute it was quite calm, and the frigate was on an even keel. "Man the braces. We shall be taken aback directly, depend upon it." The braces were hardly stretched along before this was the case.
The consequence of all these multitudinous and almost simultaneous orders to jump and see, when, by-the-by, it was too dark to see anything a yard off properly was, that one of the signal lanterns was blown out, and the signal consequently imperfect that the fore-topmast staysail halliards were so badly manned, that those upon them could scarcely start that then necessary sail from its netting that the people were not ready with the deep sea-lead that little Mr Pond was obliged to put down his trumpet, and ease off the foresheet himself till relieved by the quarter-master; but, still, there actually was a lantern over the bows, and that in good time.
