rinkets, eggs and butter,
red herrings and cheeses, tin-pots, fruit, joints of meat, and bags of
potatoes, well concealed beneath which are bottles and bladders filled
with the most horribly adulterated spirituous liquors. As many of
these dealers as can be conveniently ranged on the quarter-deck and
gangways may be admitted, that the market may be as open and fair as
possible; but it is very indiscreet to allow any of them to go on the
main-deck.

Right happy is that hour when the ship is fairly clear of all these
annoyances--sweethearts and wives inclusive--and when, with the water
filled up to the last gallon, the bread-room chock full, and as many
quarters of beef got on board as will keep fresh, the joyful sound of
"Up Anchor!" rings throughout the ship. The capstan is manned; the
messenger brought to; round fly the bars; and as the anchor spins
buoyantly up to the bows, the jib is hoisted, the topsails sheeted
home, and off she goes, merrily before the breeze!
