My uncle put me to bed that night with a motherly injunction to recite the twenty-third psalm for safety against the perils of the sea and the machinations of wicked men, and to regard the precepts of the noble Lord Ghesterfield for guidance in more difficult waters: the man being quite sober for the first time in all my life upon these occasions of departure.
"Dannie, lad," says he, "you cling t* that there little anchor Fm give ye t' hold to." 232 A WORD OF WARNING I asked him mechanically wh...at that was.
"The twenty-third psa'm," says he.

"Fm for'ard," he declared, "standin* by!" He could not perceive, poor man! that I was no longer to be dealt with as a child.
