The ‘Granville’ having dropped anchor to the north of the rough stone
pier, was soon disburdened of her passengers—the ladies going ashore with
undisguised delight, and leaving behind them many gracious messages of
thanks to the gentleman whose gallantry had resulted so disastrously; for

he did not hurry to make his appearance in the general cabin, and came on

desired to avoid.

from the pretty and absolutely useless fort, a priest and a female vendor
of oranges put themselves out so much as to congregate in a little knot
at the spot where Conyngham landed.

‘Body of Bacchus!’ said the priest, with a pinch of snuff poised before
his long nose, ‘an Englishman—see his gold watch chain.’

This remark called forth several monosyllabic sounds, and the onlookers
