"Oh, Lana!" said she. "I think I may seriously consider Mr. Hake and his very evident intentions. So I shall require no more beaux, Euan, and thank you kindly for volunteering. Besides, if I want 'em, this camp seems moderately furnished with handsome and gallant young officers," she added airily, glancing around her. "Lana! Do you please observe that tall captain with the red facings!
I am sorry to say it, that though Captain Hake was a bold seaman, generous and kind-hearted, he was influenced by no religious principle; he objected to what he called Methodism on board, and so did the mate and doctor. Not a chest except Medley's and mine contained a Bible, and we had to read ours in secret to avoid the risk of being ordered to throw them overboard.
"We shall be glad of your company in the evening, but I do not apprehend the slightest risk by our remaining on shore alone." I carried out my proposal, each of us having a musket and ammunition, and a very pleasant evening Medley and I spent in the tent, Captain Hake not making his appearance, as we feared he would.
"Yes; tell the old man there's a chap wants to speak to him for a minute." "Old man? What old man?" "Hake, of course old Ben Hake! Ain't he in?" The grocer smiled. "Hake ain't here now. I'm here."

"I laughed to that extint at this that he got away from me, so I gave him a finishin' Irish howl, by way o' making him kape the pace goin', an' thin stopped and putt on the hake.
After Hake went to live in Germany, Borrow told me a good deal about this intimacy and also about his own early life; for reticent as he naturally was, he and I got to be confidential and intimate. His friendship with Hake began when Hake was practising as a physician in Norfolk. It lasted during the greater part of Borrow’s later life.
"Hake," said the King, leaning over the arm of his high seat, "it is now time that we were moving south; and the news thou hast brought decides me to complete my arrangements without delay. It seems that Ulf of Romsdal and that fellow Erling the Bold, with his fierce father, are making great preparations for war?" "Truly they are," said Hake. "I saw as much with my own eyes."
We should have died, I think, though, had not we caught six flying fish on one day and three another for our last crumb of biscuit and drop of water were gone before we sighted the land." "I hope that Captain Hake will at once sail in search of the `Lady Alice," I exclaimed, "no time should be lost."
