CHAPTER XXIII. ANOTHER QUEER SHIP.

Having thus satisfactorily arranged for my future during some months, at all events, I lost no time in getting on board my new ship, finding her fairly comfortable, although the crew's quarters were under the top-gallant forecastle—that abominable1 place that no men should ever be housed in. She was called the Harrowby, a barque of some five hundred tons, and, as nearly as I could judge, about twenty years old. She had been absent from England nearly two years, having been running backwards2 and forwards between the Colonies and Mauritius for some time, and was now, in the absence of any other freight offering, going in ballast to Rangoon for a cargo3 of rice to the United Kingdom. Of her original crew but half was left: the captain, mate, and second mate aft, two apprentices4, the carpenter, and three seamen5 forward. The mate was a tall, wiry, red-headed Cumberland man, stern and morose6, but a good seaman7, and inflexibly8 just. The second mate was so fat and easy-going that he looked more like an East-end Jew tailor than a sailor; but he was a very jolly fellow, knowing his business well, and thoroughly9 independent, so that he stood not the slightest in awe10 of his superior officers, but did pretty much as he liked. The two apprentices were gentlemanly lads, whose parents had paid heavy premiums11 for their indentures
