He was put in irons while he remained in that state, with every chance, as Laughing Joey observed, of catching the rabbit when he became sober. By sunset the Sea Nymph was again stemming the tide with a brisk wind on her quarter, and leaving the dim-seen land of St. Vincent's fast sinking beneath the horizon astern, which soon became lost to view, being totally hidden within the gloom of approaching night. chapter iii the frigate.
