Glad to see you.

Have you heard the news?
The Thrush went out of harbour this morning.

Sharp is the word, you see! By G--, you are just in time! The doctor has been here inquiring for you: he has got one of the boats, and is to be off for Spithead by six, so you had better go with him.

I have been to Turner's about your mess; it is all in a way to be done.

I should not wonder if you had your orders to-morrow: but you cannot sail with this wind, if you are to cruise to the westward; and Captain Walsh thinks you will certainly have a cruise to the westward, with the Elephant.
