Right happy is that hour when the ship is fairly clear of all these annoyances—­sweethearts and wives inclusive—­and when, with the water filled up to the last gallon, the bread-room chock full, and as many quarters of beef got on board as will keep fresh, the joyful sound of “Up Anchor!” rings throughout the ship.  The capstan is manned; the messenger brought to; round fly the bars; and as the anchor spins buoyantly up to the bows, the jib is hoisted, the topsails sheeted home, and off she goes, merrily before the breeze!

FINIS.
