"'Mr Pullings, a bosun's chair, if you please, a whip for the dunnage, and pass the word for the children.'
"The cry ran through the ship 'Children aft — children report to the Captain — all children aft' and Jack's two little girls came running from the galley, grasping massy half-eaten slabs of cold plum-duff, followed by George, their younger brother, in his first pair of pantaloons, carried by a hairy quartermaster."
