You better be up and away! "We have come down to look over your ship, Walter," said the Admiral, sending from the wharf-side a sailor's knowing glance up at the masts and spars of the barque. "You'll not have had time yet, but I trust whilst you're in harbour you will set a good example to others by keeping your gear hauled taut and your yards square to a hair by lift and brace." He smote his thigh hard with the palm of his hand. The noise was like the report[Pg 221] of a pistol.

Mr Short took his seat when Mr Lawrence sat down, and all the people who had come to eat were then assembled.
