"I admit the gallantry of his action with the Pegase. It was as brilliant as a hundred other actions between single ships, not one of which nevertheless brought the victor an earldom.

Mrs. Wilson's voice, high-pitched and excited, came from the back yard. On which Captain Weaver exclaimed: "The Minorca, of course. She was French, and what's called barque-rigged." "I see it," returned Billy. "I guess I ain't scared of no snakes in these parts.".
