 in his
brine-seasoned mind the faintest suspicion of the meaning of my
curiosity.  I had also given him to understand that I was a young
gentleman of substance, and begged him to believe that any cost Grace
and I might put the ship to should be repaid with interest to her
owners.

This enabled me to take my seat at the table with an easy conscience,
for though there can be no doubt as to the humanity and hospitality of
the British shipmaster, the British ship-owner, on the other hand, I
have always heard spoken of as a person eminent for thrift and economy,
as is made manifest by the slenderness of the crew he ships, the
unsavoriness of the provisions he supplies them with, and the very
small wages he gives to his captains and mates.

It was impossible for me to find myself seated with Grace at my side at
that cheerful, hospitable, sparkling, sea dinner-table, without acutely
realising the difference betwixt this time and yesterday.  Some ten or
twelve persons sat down, but there was room for another dozen, which I
believe about completed the number of saloon passengers the
_Carthusian_ carried.  Captain Parsons, with a countenance varnished as
from the recent employment of soap, was at the head of the table with
Mrs. Barstow on his right, and I observed that they frequently
conversed whilst they often directed their eyes at Grace and me.  The
setting sun shone upon the skylight, and gleamed in ruby prisms and
crystals in the glass about the table.  It was a warm and cheerful
picture; the forward windows in the saloon framed a part of the ship--a
glimpse of curved white canvas, a fragment of the galley and the
long-coat, the steps leading to the forecastle, coils of gear swinging
upon pins; the soft blue afternoon sky of the fine weather that had
come at last shone betwixt the squares of the rattlines and floated in
a tender liquid atmosphere under the arch of the sails; you could see a
number of the steerage passengers pacing the main-deck, smoking and
arguing; a gentle _shaling_ noise of waters broken by the passage of
the vessel seethed in the ear like a light, passing attack of
in his 
 brine - seasoned mind the faintest suspicion of the meaning of my 
 curio.   I had besides feed him to understand that I was a unseasoned 
 valet of substance, and begged him to believe that any monetary value Grace 
 and I might put the ship to should be refund with interest to her 
 owners. 

 This enable me to take my seat at the table with an easy conscience, 
 for though there can be no doubt as to the humanness and hospitality of 
 the British shipmaster, the British ship - owner, on the other hand, I 
 have always heard talk of as a person eminent for thrift and economy, 
 as is made manifest by the thinness of the crew he ships, the 
 disgustingness of the provisions he supply them with, and the very 
 small wages he gives to his captains and mates. 

 It was impossible for me to determine myself seated with Grace at my side at 
 that cheerful, hospitable, sparkling, sea dinner - table, without acutely 
 realize the deviation betwixt this time and yesterday.   Some ten or 
 twelve persons sat down, but there was room for another dozen, which I 
 believe about complete the numeral of saloon passengers the 
 _ Carthusian _ carried.   Captain Parsons, with a countenance varnish as 
 from the late employment of soap, was at the head of the table with 
 Mrs. Barstow on his right, and I observed that they frequently 
 conversed whilst they often directed their eye at Grace and me.   The 
 setting sun shone upon the skylight, and gleamed in crimson prisms and 
 crystals in the glass about the table.   It was a warm and cheerful 
 picture; the forward window in the saloon framed a part of the ship -- a 
 glimpse of curved white canvas, a shard of the galley and the 
 long - coat, the steps leading to the forecastle, coils of gear swinging 
 upon pins; the soft blasphemous afternoon sky of the fine weather that had 
 arrive at last shone betwixt the square of the rattlines and floated in 
 a sensitive liquid air under the arch of the sails; you could see a 
 number of the steerage passengers pace the main - deck, smoking and 
 arguing; a gentle _ shaling _ noise of waters broken by the passage of
