The M. P. as our motion-picture camera was called and which was re-christened but not abbreviated by Bert, as "The Member of Parliament" had to be cleaned before we could proceed. It took all this day, and much of the next, to get the moisture and sand out of the delicate mechanism, and have it running smoothly again.
The landlocked harbor which Cabrillo had named San Miguel, Vizcaino re-christened in honor of his flag-ship, San Diego de Alcalá. Farther north, Vizcaino found a glorious deep and sheltered bay, "large enough to float all the navies of the world," he said; and this, in honor of the Viceroy of Mexico, he called the Bay of Monterey.
"Well, gentlemen, it kept stark calm for two whole days after we'd took the brig, and Johnson that was the Yankee's name, Edward Johnson he kept us all busy during that time disguising the craft, by painting the hull and spars afresh, and such like; and the carpenter he was sent over the starn on a stage to fix a plank over the name, on which he'd carved a lot of flourishes and such like, and the word Albatross, which was what Johnson had re-christened her, and by the time we'd finished, her own builder wouldn't have knowed her.
Even in a Border hamlet the name of Craster might be known and since for the present it had a Whig complexion it was well to go warily in a place where feeling ran high and at an hour when the Jacobites were on the march. But that other name of Lovel was buried deep in the forgotten scandal of London by-streets. The gentleman late re-christened Lovel had for the moment no grudge against life.
The tiny craft that had carried King so far and so safely was now laid up for repairs, and a brig of one hundred and fifty tons was purchased and re-christened the BATHURST. On the 26th of May, 1821, King sailed from Port Jackson upon his fourth and last voyage to the north coast, accompanied by the merchant ships DICK and SAN ANTONIO, bound for Batavia, who requested permission to accompany King through Torres Straits.
The Gildersliene and Justina Case of the Jabez Snow The barque Amazonian Relieved of prisoners A hint The Talisman Under false colours The Conrad A nobler fate Re-christened The Tuscaloosa commissioned Short of provisions. The 25th May witnessed the capture of the ship Gildersliene and the barque Justina.
To do all this to Dick's satisfaction demanded nearly a month's strenuous labour; but when it was all finished and the little craft re-christened Elisabeth was finally ready for sea, Dick pronounced her fit to face the heaviest weather and the longest voyage.
The first time that I was in Buenos Ayres, in 1883, two of the original Crimean engines were still running on this little railway, the "Balaclava" and the "Eupatoria," the latter re-christened "Presidente Mitre." The newer railways followed the lead of the pioneer, and so it comes about that Ireland and the Argentine Republic have the same standard gauge.
The first ship to start was a small screw boat, re-christened for the occasion the Melazzo, after the late Garibaldian victory. The men were huddled on board anyhow at Thames Haven, in the night. No sooner had she got to sea than discomfort begat discontent.
The ceremony of introduction was exceedingly simple. Though they could not, of course, understand a word he said, it was evident from his eloquent gestures that their host described the way in which they had come from Space and landed on the surface of the World of the Crystal Cities, as Zaidie subsequently re-christened Ganymede.
