He had been court-martialled and dismissed his ship. His offence was singular and characteristic: he was in a foreign port, and at night-fall he walked to the quay to return to his ship. He was intoxicated, and on being challenged by a sentry, tumbled the fellow into the water and immediately sprang after him and saved his life. Some in the face of his gallant career thought the sentence too severe: others regarded it as lenient. His own view of it he betokened by conceiving a bitter hatred against the Service and by resigning his commission.，"Thank you; so I shall, if you will come with me."，"She remained on board, and is in my cabin, and I shall occupy the cabin which was fitted up professedly for a sick-bay."，With broadening day the gale had strengthened.

He has grown strangely fond of her, and finds comfort in her gentle eyes and sympathetic mouth. Like all the rest, he has gone down before Mona, and found a place for her in his heart. He is laughing at some merry absurdity of hers, and is feeling braver, more hopeful, when a little chill seems to pass over him, and, turning, he confronts a tall dark young man who has come leisurely—but with a purpose—to where he and Mona are standing.,“The robin is jist the carinest bird,” she added.,"You must ask the Captain that, sir, if you want to know," Paul answered.,"You don't think her life is in danger?" asked David, in a faltering tone.,"My dear, I behaved badly to you in that matter.
