I have left out four verses as being rather out of ien I have heard the old gunner sing this when the sea has been beating over the forecastle and the ship rolling gunwale under. We used to get a tar- paulin in the weather fore rigging as a screen, and many a pleasant hour have I passed under its lee, with a glass of grog and hearing long-winded stories. Alas ! how dead are times now* Captain Wallis behaved very kindly to me. I used to dine with him two or three times a week. He had, as I have ...stated, strange whims and few men are with- out them, but his many good quahties threw them in the background, and I have, with grateful I70 GORGON \ym remembrance and respect for his memory, to be thankful for his kindness, and particularly for the certificate he gave me on leaving the ship. Madame Trogoff, the French admiral's widow,^ came to England and was a passenger in his cabin. She was a very agreeable woman. We had several French officers (emigrants) who had left Toulon at the evacuation.
