Having driven in his nail firmly and deeply enough (as he thought) to sustain his wild, piratical, extravagant project, Mr Lawrence added in his commanding way, "I hope, sir, I have said enough.

Therefore I am for putting my helm to port should anything show ahead, and you will be good enough to report any sail that springs into sight."
