Get him to give you his brief Can do and youneed no attorneys, stamps nor seals. Still, they had the usual sailors choice;eat it or leave it. Rarely, if everdid any white man attempt this locality at night time. The vital question was, in what direction did the ice extend. They tried a few shots with theirrevolvers, but we knew they didnt mean to hit us. Men we could afford to lose, as a matterof fact, but of the real good crowd, we lost none. Heavy weather-sails were sent down and fine weather canvas bent inplace.
The month was June, inother words, mid-winter.
If there is a ship ready to sail and short of a crew, he will be one ofthem. It was in emergencies like this,that one appreciated a British crowd. Rarely, if everdid any white man attempt this locality at night time.
You expect, and doget, baffling winds in the tropics but not down in the sixties.
I was told the wind always came from the direction where a shoal ofporpoises was heading.
We cheered ourselves pretty wellhoarse at the success of this manoeuvre. A few thousand poundsworth of damage done, all on account of a little stone!
On a long sailing ship voyage, each man knows the other better than heknows himself. Wearing Ship is aticklish job at the best of times, particularly the bracing up when shecomes to. It is often a case of days without a hotmeal.
Poor old Chips, he was for the carpet all right. Pretty high handed, Ill admit, but the British were both feared andrespected in those days. Butfor Gods sake men dont let those crimps get hold of you. I am glad to say our Skipper was one with a conscience.

Fortunatelyour anxiety blotted out all sense of the cold, except when we tried touse our hands. These are the men to rely upon when it comes to shortening down inbad weather. Theycovered, at a rough guess, a rectangle, about half a mile long, and fivehundred yards wide.
The Captain was now on deck and quickly rapped out his orders.
We certainly connected the coldwith ice, but not seriously.

My cousin was Third Mate; I wasthen second voyage apprentice, and beginning to feel my feet.
Ill go furtherand say, such men were not difficult to find in British ships.
These must have come aboard when shewas loading somewhere out East. Wisely, orunwisely, he took the chance when it was offered of getting right backhome. The conditions men had to endure almost beggardescription. The Captain was now on deck and quickly rapped out his orders.
Ropes and blocks frozen up, and solid with ice.
He has everything he asks for, and eventually goes to theboarding house that every crimp keeps. My cousin was Third Mate; I wasthen second voyage apprentice, and beginning to feel my feet. They had the same happy habit ofbrowsing on our feet, although not quite to the same extent.
