CHAPTER XVI BILLY MEETS A DIVINITY "Well, I'm jiggered!" said Mr Pledge, now looking slightly startled, for he was an old[Pg 272] sailor, he well understood the despotic powers of the captain of a ship, and he readily perceived that Mr Lawrence's threats in case of refusal by the crew were to be carried out. The old man looked after her, and whispered to himself in admiration of her kindness and person.
