Morris, ' says the old man. Pres- ently up comes a midshipman from the main-deck, touches his hat — ' First division all ready, sir. The second lieuten- ant reports the enemy's shot have hurt his men, and he can with difficulty restrain them from returning their fire. ' ' Tell him to wait for orders, Mr. Morris, ' says the old man again, never turning his head. Well, just, you see, as the young gentleman turned to go below, and another shot car- ries off Mr. Bush, lieutenant of marines — just a...s we begins to run into their smoke, and even the old gun-boat-men, as had been with Decatur and Somers, begins to stare, up jumps the old man in the air, slaps his hand on his thigh with a report like a pistol, and roars out in a voice that reached the gunners in the magazines: ' Now, Mr. Morris, give it to them !
