The report from the schoolmaster had been very favourable, and Captain Delmar then asked me, for the first time, if I would like to be a sailor. As Captain Bridgeman had advised me not to reject any good offer on the part of the honourable captain, I answered in the affirmative; whereupon, the captain replied, that if I paid attention to my learning, in a year's time he would take me with him on board of his frigate.
