You will both of you go to the mast-head, and remain there till Mr Lukyn calls you down; Mr Merry to the foremast, Mr Spellman to the mainmast." We thought that we had got off very easily; and we should, had not the first-lieutenant gone below and forgotten all about us.
"I was telling you about my maternal parent, the estimable Mrs Johnson. I was alluding to times before she assumed that appellation, or became my parent. I brought up my history to the period when she became first-lieutenant of the gallant Thunder bomb.
Young Aveleyn, who thought that the departure of the captain would occupy the attention of the first-lieutenant, had just descended to, and was placing his foot on, the topsail yard, when Mr W looked up, and witnessed this act of disobedience.
Joan of Arc, Queen Dido, or the Roman Daughter could not hold a candle to her. She was up to any thing, and, had opportunities offered, would have been the first woman of her age. As it was, she made herself pretty well-known in the world, as you shall hear. When she was quite a young woman she once on a time became first-lieutenant of a dashing frigate.
"At all events, you may find him the First-Lieutenant of the next ship you join, and he may not forget your free and easy style." "If he is worth his salt he will not harbour revenge for what I have said or done," persisted Dicky. However, I observed that both he and Twig were more careful than before in their way of addressing the stranger.
The Captain, who had somewhat obfuscated theological views, could not decide whether he was bound to read the funeral service over the poor woman. "Supposing she is a heathen and I never heard of these black people being Christians I shouldn't think it was much in their way, eh, Schank? Would it not be something like sacrilege to bury her in a Christian fashion?" he asked of the First-Lieutenant.
Some men in Mr Schank's position would have declined serving as First-Lieutenant under an officer who had before served under him, but Mr Schank had no pride of the sort, and when Captain Oliver applied for him he readily consented to accept the offer. There was every probability of our having a happy ship.
Our first-lieutenant of marines rises, and, like conscience, "with a still small voice," thus delivers himself of the anxiety with which his breast was labouring. "Major Flushfire, may I claim the privilege of the similar colour of our cloth to entreat the favour of your attention?
A quarter of a century ago there were some very strange notions prevalent in the navy, among which none was more common, than that the firing of the bow guns materially checked the speed of the vessel. The captain and the first-lieutenant both held this opinion.
A second hostile meeting of electricity took place, and the fluid darted down the side of the frigate's mainmast, passing through the quarter-deck in the direction of the powder-magazine. Captain M , the first-lieutenant, master, and fifty or sixty of the men, were struck down by the violence of the shook.
