The following sea songs, and the commencement of a story for the 'Juvenile Library, ' which were found as ms. in Captain Marryat's desk after his decease, are inserted simply because, where so little remains, it is supposed that every fragment will possess its value. the victoky. i. Stop the fiddle! cease your reeling! All now gather close to me. Silence, girls, while I'm revealing How we gained the victory. Off Trafalgar's Cape, long seeking, Nelson's flag was at the fore; In close order, two lines keeping, Down npon the foe we bore. n. In a crescent wide extended, They received us to engage; Soon the morning's brightness ended--All obscured by battle's rage. Up the bunting runs again, boys; Break the stops, the flags blow clear! When the signal was explained, boys, Then, indeed, there was a cheer! Iii. As lords like him cared not for booty--All but glory he rejects--He only said, To do his duty England every man expects!

See, the Boyal Sovereign proudly Pours her thunders on the foe; Broadside after broadside loudly Fills the decks with cries of woe! Heavy odds are five to one, boys; When was Collingwood afraid?

CHAPTER II. Sails on board H.M.S.
