"You're a'goin' to find that some job," said Billy quietly. "Is that your opinion, sir?" Captain Weaver asked the Admiral. "Give Perry my kind regards," said Captain Acton. "There'll not be much nursing to be got out of this shipful of rough sailors," said Mr Fellowes. "What a fine, manly, gallant young officer was lost to the Service in Walter Lawrence! What made him shoot himself?".
