"No, on the shore, Miss," said the Admiral. "A French corsair was chased ashore about five miles up and burnt." "Oh, depend upon it. This is a great offer. He is extremely obliging." This was manifestly all that the frigate had left the other ships to ascertain, and the lieutenant was in the act of springing on to the deck, when Captain Acton shouted: "Pray, sir, can you tell us what those ships are?" "His Ma wouldn't let him come. Afraid he'd get wet an' go sick ag'in. Gee! that coffee smells good, Erie.".
