Sobre IBD

Dick Burton, you’re a daddy! Polly’s been and got a baby for you, old boy! exclaimed several voices, as the said Dick mounted the side of the old 'Boreas,' on the books of which ship he was rated as a quarter-master, he having just then returned from a pleasant little cutting-out expedition, where he had obtained, besides honour and glory, a gash on the cheek, a bullet through the shoulder, and a prong from a pike in the side. 'Me a what?' he inquired, bending his head forward with a look of incredulity, and mechanically hitching up his trousers. 'Me a daddy? On course it’s a boy? Polly wouldn’t go for to get a girl, a poor little helpless girl, out in these outlandish parts.'

  • Paul Gerrard
    H. G. Kingston W. H. G. Kingston / HGKingston WHGKingston
    Darkness had set in. The wind was blowing strong from the southwest, with a fine, wetting, penetrating rain, which even tarpaulins, or the thickest of Flushing coats, would scarcely resist. A heavy sea also was running, such as is often to be met with in the chops of the British Channel during the month of November, at which time of the year, in the latter part of the last cent...
