" "The son of Mr Ripley the boatswain, sir, " was the answer. "I must have my eye on him, there is stuff in that lad, " observed thecaptain.

The "Marlborough" had for some time beenfuriously engaged, almost b...roadside to broadside, with the "Impetueux, "a French seventy-four, which ship had just fallen aboard her, theFrenchman's bowsprit becoming entangled in her mizen rigging. To keepher antagonist in that position was of the greatest consequence to the"Marlborough, " as she might thus rake her fore and aft, receiving butlittle damage in return.
