his methodisty face;
He grinn'd like a roast monkey, and he howl'd like a baboon,
He had a dose from Billy, that he didn't forget soon.

"Take that," said Billy, when he'd done, "and now you'll please to
work,
I read the Bible often--but I don't my duty shirk.
The pumps they are not choked yet, nor do we yet despair,
When all is up or we are saved, we'll join with you in prayer."

"And now we'll have one from the other side of the house," said Moggy,
as soon as the plaudits were over.

"Come then, Anthony, you shall speak for us, and prove that we can sing
a stave as well as honester men."

"With all my heart, William;--here's my very best." The smuggler then
sang as follows:--

Fill, lads, fill

Sing, lads, sing.
Our voices we'll raise;
Be merry still;
If dead to-morrow,
We brave all sorrow.
Life's, weary maze--
When we end our days,
'Tis better luck still.

the carousing was kept up until the next morning, when, at daylight, the
cutter was run into Cherbourg. The officers who came on board, went on
shore with the report that the cutter belonged to the English
Government, and had been occupied by Sir Robert and his men, who were
well known. The consequence was, an order for the cutter to leave the
port immediately, as receiving her would be tantamount to an aggression
on the part of France. But this order, although given, was not intended
to be rigidly enforced, and there was plenty of time allowed for Sir
Robert and his people to land with their specie and baggage.

Ramsay did not forget his promise to the corporal. He went to the
French authorities, stated the great importance of his forwarding a
letter to Amsterdam immediately, and that the way it might be effected
would be very satisfactory. That, aware that King William was at the
Hague, they should write a letter informing him of the arrival of the
cutter; and
