Excerpt from Brimelsea or Character the Index of Fate, Vol. 1 of 2 Onward flies the gallant vessel, driving before the wind; she has weathered the storm, and once more rides tranquilly on her course; the moon Shines down upon her streaming planks - they look like silver in her light; the sailors hurry here and there; much is to be done; no rest for them that night. Heave-a-hoy 'oy! Up go the sails, and flap and batter in the wind; the captain stands at his post he has been there throughout the storm, his trumpet in his hand, but it is now no longer necessary; he is speaking to the first lieutenant who stands beside him. Let us approach and scrutinize them more narrowly, as both are to form actors in our drama. Now that the storm has lulled we have leisure to make their acquaintance come, then, follow me.
