I trust, gentlemen, this is not the last time I shall sit in the gun-room, and that you will all consider my cabin as your own. I love to make my officers comfortable: nothing more delightful than an harmonious ship, when every man and boy is willing to go to hell for his officers. That's what I call good fellowship--give and take--make proper allowances for one another's failings, and we shall be sorry when the time comes for us to part. I am afraid, however, that I shall not be long with you; for though I doat upon the brig, the Duke of N--- and Lord George --- have given the first Lord a damned _whigging_ for not promoting me sooner; and between ourselves--I don't wish it to go further--my post commission goes out with me to Barbadoes.
