Of course I cannot tell you all our adventures consecutively, so shall describe only some of the most interesting.  We first visited the Saint Vincent, which, as we had just left our little yacht, looked very fine and grand.  Papa was saying to one of the officers that he had served on board her, when a weather-beaten petty officer came up, and with a smile on his countenance touched his hat, asking if papa remembered Tom Trueman.  Papa immediately exclaimed, "Of course I do," and gave him such a hearty grip of the hand that it almost made the tears come into the old man's eyes with pleasure, and they had a long yarn about days of yore.  After this papa met many old shipmates.  It was pleasant to see the way in which he greeted them and they greeted him, showing how much he must have been beloved, which, of course, he was; and I'll venture to say it will be a hard matter to find a kinder or better man.  I'm sure that he is a brave sailor, from the things he has done, and the cool way in which he manages the yacht, whatever is happening.
