There could not bo discipline more perfect. 1 Every man was at Ids post Not a 1 word was spoken beyond the orders given and repealed, and the "nyo, aye, air," in response. Slowly, steadily. ' and calmly sails were fbried, rigging made taut, fire* extinguished, boot* 1 lowered and manned, lead thrown, blue 1 lights burned, and examination made 1 by the carpenter and his men of the damage sustained and the danger awaiting us.
