The man at the helm put it so much to port, that the end of one of the long tapering yards of the speronara nearly got foul of the Zodiac's fore-yard. "What the deuce are you lubbers about, that you cannot keep yourself clear of your neighbours?" sung out Bowse's mate, from the main rigging. "I'll teach you better manners if I catch you at sea, that's all."
Every sail they sighted was overhauled, provided she did not lead them much out of their course, in the hopes of gaining tidings either of the survivors of the Zodiac's crew or of the pirate brig, and also to urge those bound in the same direction to aid in the search.
Water sinks down below, in currents full slow; But wine mounts on high with its genial glow: Welling up, till the brain overflow! As the spheres, with a roll, some fiery of soul, Others golden, with music, revolve round the pole; So let our cups, radiant with many hued wines, Round and round in groups circle, our Zodiac's Signs: Round reeling, and ringing their chimes!
While the boat of the speronara was approaching, three or four of the Zodiac's crew were collected by the foremost gun, watching her progress with no little interest.
Three of the Zodiac's crew had been disabled, and Bowse himself was badly wounded; but the remainder fought their guns to the last. The pirates, as the sides of the two vessels ground together, threw their grapnels on board, and crowded the rigging to leap on the deck of the Zodiac.
At the same instant arose the shouts of defiance raised by the British seamen, mingled with the shrieks of their wounded, and answered by the fierce cries of the pirates, as they threw themselves on the Zodiac's deck next was heard above their heads the loud trampling of the feet of those engaged in mortal struggle.
There isn't a finer craft out of London than the Zodiac, and none but a good ship would have weathered the gale we fell in with t'other day, though, as it was, we met with a little damage, which made us put in here to repair." "I have no doubt of the Zodiac's good qualities, and I hope that I may yet have the satisfaction of proving them," said the Greek, as he stepped over the side.
Mark the Zodiac's radiant bow, That's a collar fit for HOWE! And, then P tl d's brighter far, The Pole shall furnish you a Star! Damn their ribands and their garters, Get you to your post and quarters, Think, on what things are ribands showered The two Sir Georges Y and H ! Look to what rubbish Stars will stick, To Dicky H n and Johnny D k!
