" " What confounded thing is this that has the power of doing such damage ? What is she ? What is she like ! She must be the devil turned into a man-of-war. " " I have no time to describe her I must see the General in command in all haste but if I say that the devil invented, and, for aught I know I beg your pardon, Maurice ! commands her ; that she is invulnerable to shot or shell ; that bombs burst on her as harmlessly as a child's squib ; and that six- inch solid shot glide off her sides lik...e pellets from a popgun I have told you enough to show you what she is. " " Can a broadside make no impression on her ? " " None. She could steam up unharmed within a hundred paces of your heaviest guns and rani and sink a vessel pro- tected by them. Where shall we land, Jack ? I'm in a deuce of a hurry to see the General. " " This way. Here are the iron stairs. Take care, the steps are somewhat slippery. " " Come along, Maurice. You remain here, men, until I return. We shan't be long.
