Excerpt from Poor Jack: A Play in One Act Bardolph As mine own bruises can testify. Had each one of them a tongue they would raise a clamor beside which Babel were an heir weeping for his rich uncle's death; their testimony would qualify you for any mad-house in England. And if their evidence go against the doctor's stomach, the watchman at the corner hath three teeth - or rather, hath them no longer, since you knocked them out last night, that will willingly aid him to digest it.

I have every reason to believe that I was born in the year of our Lord 1786, for more than once I put the question to my father, and he invariably made the same reply: "Why, Jack, you were launched a few months before the Druids were turned over to the Melpomene." I have since ascertained that this remarkable event occurred in January 1787. But my father always reckoned in this way: if you asked him when such an event took place, he would reply, so many years or months after such a naval engagement or remarkable occurrence; as, for instance, when I one day inquired how many years he had served the King, he responded, "I came into the sarvice a little afore the battle of Bunker's Hill, in which we licked the Americans clean out of Boston[1]." As for Anno Domini, he had no notion of it whatever.

Excerpt from Poor Jack the Settlers in Canada Admirable, however, as are all these descriptions of old Greenwich, Captain Marryat is evidently not quite at his case between the river banks, and accordingly he avails him self of every possible opportunity'of return to the fresher atmosphere of the high seas. The yarns of the pensioners prove very useful for this purpose, and whenever the story flags a little, one of the old men is sure to embark upon some lengthy description of battle or shipwreck. One of the most graphic and circumstantial narratives in the book is the loss of the Royal told by Anderson over the ward fire.
