CHAPTER XXVII.
Captain and Mrs To--Pork--We go to Plymouth, and fall in with our old Captain.
I immediately took leave of my family, and set off for Portsmouth, and in two days arrived at the Fountain inn, where O'Brien was waiting to receive me.

"Peter, my boy, I feel so much obliged to you, that if your uncle won't go out of the world by fair means, I'll pick a quarrel with him, and shoot him, on purpose that you may be a lord, as I am determined you shall be.

Now come up into my room, where we'll be all alone, and I'll tell you all about the ship and our new captain.

In the first place, we'll begin with the ship, as the most important personage of the two: she's a beauty, I forget her name before she was taken, but the French know how to build ships better than keep them.

She's now called the _Sanglier_, which means a wild pig, and, by the powers! a _pig_ ship she is, as you will hear directly.
