For my part, I needed nothing but the leave, and in ten minutes' time I found myself, no small mark of curiosity, betwixt the waist and the quarter-deck of the 'Hebe, ' where the officers eyed me with as little appearance of rudeness as they could help, and I overhauled the spars and rigging aloft as coolly A SEA STORY 275 as I could, waiting to be sent for below. The 'Hebe, ' in fact, was the very beauty of a twenty-eight; taking the shine, and the wind, too, clean out of everything even at Pl...ymouth, where I had seen her once a year or two before; our poor dear old 'Iris' herself had scarce such a pattern of a hull, falling in, as it did, from the round swell of her bilge, to just under the plank-sheer, and spreading out again with her bright black top-sides, till where the figure-head shot over the cut-water, and out of her full pair of bows, like a swan's neck out of its breast. As for the 'Iris, ' our boat- swain himself one day privately confessed to me, almost with tears in his eyes, that she tumbled home a thought too much just in front of the fore-chains, and he 'd tried to get it softened off with dead planking and paint, but it would n't do; everybody saw through them.
