An' so it wasna accident that I was shut up in the ship's pantry, leavin' Mistress Kate to gang hame by hersel', an' to come out this mornin' findin' the ship at sea an' ye in command ?" "Say no more, Ben," cried Bonnet.

"I am more sorry to see you here than if you were any other man I know in this world.

But I cannot put you off now, nor can I talk further about it, being very much pressed with other matters.

He was dressed in a naval uniform, to which was added a broad red sash.
In his belt were two pairs of big pistols, and a stout sword hung by his side.
