I shall be obliged to berth you in the ward room, and you are at liberty to pass your time as you please in these two apartments.

I shall be happy to introduce you to the first lieutenant," added the captain, as he led the way to the ward room.
Mr.Baskirk received the prisoner very politely, a berth was assigned to him, and Christy went on deck.

It was as dark as Egypt there, but Mr.
Amblen, the new acting second lieutenant, on the bridge, said the wind was hauling to the westward, and he thought there would be a change of weather before morning.

Mr.Baskirk had made all his appointments of petty officers rendered necessary by sending a portion of the seamen to the Ocklockonee.

Everything was in good order on deck, and Christy next went down to the sick bay, where Hungerford and Pawcett were the only occupants.
