By all means, let my young friends avoid it.
On the day before we sailed from Sheerness, the captain had an orderconveyed to the first-lieutenant to send me away on duty immediately, for two or three hours. I was bundled into the pinnace with old canvas, old ropes, and old blocks, condemned stores to the dock-yard, and, as Iapproached the landing-place appropriated for the use of admirals _inposse_, I saw embark from the stairs, exclusively set apart for admiralsand post-captains _in esse_, my ...captain and the port-admiral in theadmiral's barge, and seated between these two awful personages, theresat a civilian, smiling in all the rotundity and fat of a very pleasantcountenance, and very plain clothes, and forming a striking contrast tothe grim complacency, and the ironbound civility, of the two men inuniform.
The boat's crew were so much struck with this apparent anomaly--for tothem, anything in the civilian's garb to come near an officer, and thatofficer a naval one, was hardly less than portentous, and argued thesaid civilian to be something belonging to the _genus homo_extraordinary--and the fat specimen in the boat with the port-admiral, they thought, was one of the lords of the Admiralty, or even Mr Crokerhimself--the notion of whose dimly-understood attributes was, with them, of a truly magnificent nature.
