Thus the filmy and delicately beautiful structures that decorate the pleasant home of the quaint little seahorse in the aquarium structures having more the appearance of miniature palm-trees than of animals are really annelids. One can view Dr.
At this moment occurred the sinking of the "Fox;" upon which much delay ensued, because Nelson refused to abandon the men struggling in the water, and insisted upon looking personally to their being saved. At last the "Seahorse" was reached; but here again he would not go on board, saying that he would not have Mrs.
"If you will excuse me, Captain Blowitt, I should say that it was not advisable to take the Bronx nearer than within about four miles of the Seahorse Key," suggested Mr. Amblen. "I was just thinking that we had gone as far as it is prudent to go. Do you think you could take the Bronx up to the landing?" added the captain.
He was in his soldier's coat, of course, and mighty fine; but I could not avoid to shudder when I thought how little that jacket would avail him, if he were once caught and flung in a skiff, and carried on board of the Seahorse, a deserter, a rebel, and now a condemned murderer. "There," said I, "there is the man that has the best right to open it: or not, as he thinks fit."
From boat to boat the General's eye passed, then shifted to the ships the Squirrel, the Leostaff, the Seahorse, and the rest and lastly to where the army of Bougainville lay. Then there came towards him an officer, who said quietly, "The tide has turned, sir." For reply the general made a swift motion towards the maintop shrouds, and almost instantly lanterns showed in them.
We had not been a month at the settlement after the piracy of the "Golden Seahorse" before it became evident to me that our crew had ceased to regard their officers with the same respect as they had formerly shown them on board ship. Sailors, ashore, are accustomed to a license they do not look for at sea.
Now we knew that if Thedori, or any of the people, caught but a glimpse of the "Golden Seahorse", they would make ready to attack her with all the force at their command, but the "Speedwell" was unknown to them, and there were many harbours among the Moluccas where our ship might remain unnoticed while our plans were matured.
Next day we found a safe place where the vessel could be moored near the beach, where, on examining the ship's bottom, we found that a large piece of rock had broken away from the reef and remained stuck in the hole it made. Had it not been for this singular fact the "Golden Seahorse" must have foundered.
So the Despatches, &c., of Lord Nelson, Sir H. Nicholas, vol. ii. p. 429. Theseus , Captain Ralph Willett Miller, carried the Rear-Admiral's flag; 2. Culloden , Commodore and Captain Thos. Troubridge; 3. Zealous , Captain Sam. Hood; 4. Leander , Captain Thos. Boulden Thomson, which joined on the day before the attack. There were three frigates: 1. Seahorse , Captain Thos. Francis Fremantle; 2.
Well I was on the poop by now, and the men after me; for you see the poop of the Seahorse was as high as the middle deck of the Spaniard, and we must board from there or not at all. Well, lads, there was the captain before me.
