Chapter XXXV: Captain Whiffle sends for me-his situation described-his

Text size

surgeon arrives, prescribes for him, and puts him to bed-a bed is put up for Mr. Simper contiguous to the state room, which, with other parts of the captains behaviour, gives the ship's company a very unfavourable idea of their commander-I am detained in the West Indies by the admiral, and go on board of the Lizard sloop of war in quality of surgeon's mate, where I make myself known to the surgeon, who treats me very kindly-I go on shore, sell my ticket, purchase necessaries, and, at my return on board, am surprised at the sight of Crampley, who is appointed lieutenant of the sloop-we sail on a cruise-take a prize in which I arrive at Port Morant under the command of my messmate, with whom I live in great harmony
