Thomas Auld, Junior, obtained a situation on board the brig "Tweed," and went to sea.

I know not what has become of him; he certainly has my good wishes for his welfare and prosperity.

There were few persons to whom I was more sincerely attached than to him, and there are few in the world I would be more pleased to meet.
Very soon after I went to Baltimore to live, Master Hugh succeeded in getting me hired to Mr.William Gardiner, an extensive ship builder on Fell's Point.

I was placed here to learn to calk, a trade of which I already had some knowledge, gained while in Mr.Hugh Auld's ship-yard, when he was a master builder.

Gardiner's, however, proved a very unfavorable place for the accomplishment of that object.
