Captain Rombold, who was wounded in the right thigh, was sitting on the quarter-deck.

He spoke to me, for I was well acquainted with him.
While we were talking, I began to feel faint, and slumped down on the deck like a woman.

The captain sent for his surgeon, though his own wound had not been dressed; and Dr.Davidson was the gentleman who came, and very soon I felt better.

They treated me like a brother; and that is the reason I have asked to have them both sent here." "I am very glad you did, Christy; and we will do everything we can for them," added Mrs.Passford.
The father and mother of Mr.Graines lived in Montgomery, two miles distant, and he was anxious to see them.

Leaving Christie in the hands of his mother and sister, he took his leave early in the afternoon.
Later in the day a carriage stopped at the mansion, and the expected visitors, attended by the naval officer who had paroled them, were admitted by the servant.
