I am mighty glad you are here; for if we put our heads together we can surely find some way of getting free." "Bless your eyes, don't I wish we may. Maybe there's a fate in it, sir. Fate jined you and me when it made me set Vetch a-rolling in the barrel, and 'tis fate has jined us all three here.
"Oh, haul the bowline, Katy is my darling, Oh, haul the bowline, the bowline haul! "Oh, haul the bowline, London girls are towing, Oh, haul the bowline, the bowline haul! "Oh, haul the bowline, the packet is a-rolling, Oh, haul the bowline, the bowline haul!" With anchor apeak, topsails jerked aloft and flattened, the schooner took the wind.
The Englishman has burrowed under the bed of his great river, and set ships of two or three thousand tons a-rolling over his head, only to provide new sites for a few old women to sell cakes and ginger-beer!

Into the history of Mr Francis Beveridge, as supplied by the obliging candour of the Baron von Blitzenberg and the notes of Dr Escott, Dr Twiddel and his friend Robert Welsh make a kind of explanatory entry.
