" I remember one young fellow who, as soon as he got 

 into port, said, ' Look here, skipper, let's have my 

 money. I've had enough o' the Dogger to last me a 

 lifetime."

 out again to the Bank. 



" I and my crew had come safely through it all with 

 the Uncle Tom ; but during the whole of the breeze it 

 was touch and go with us all the time it was 'just as 

 near as mak's nae matter.' "
