The above 146 THE PILGRIMS OF THE THAMES cutter lads made quite a parade of their exertions up and down the River. " It was one continued scene of rude low-life and gaiety, which lasted for several years ; and the ridiculous and absurd idea of being ...thought a ' deep one/ and a ' knowing character/ was the only great object in view with all these sort of people.
