In a few moments the English colours were hoisted aboard the stranger, on which the Admiral delivered a British cheer, which was caught up and re-echoed by a few of the crew forward.,"And do you see this here object that I'm holdin' up afore your dotin' father's eyes?",“Like the lazy coward he is,” Billy tartly interrupted.,"A relation, sir?" said the master of the Louisa Ann, addressing Captain Weaver, whom he had immediately perceived was not of the standing of the two Naval gentlemen.,"I'll count ten, and then I'll go," she said to herself.,"We hope to effect our end without bloodshed, my lord," said Captain Acton.,“But I haven’t any fine clothes,” said Madame Bakke.,“Oh, well! you may get in,” said Miss Melling, not ungraciously.,That night when Mrs. Bennett went into the Fo’castle there was an unusual note in Billy’s voice..
