I should like a rough voyage for a change, John, Geoffrey said.

We have always had still water and light winds on our trips, and I should like a good blow.

Well, I think you will have one; though may be it will only come on thick and wet. Still I think there is wind in those clouds, and that if it does come it will be from the south-east, in which case you will have a sharp buffeting. But you will make good passage enough down to the Nore once you are fairly round the Whittaker.

Glad to see you, young masters, Joe Chambers said as the boat came alongside his craft.
