Sinossi
Excerpt from His Majesty's Sloop Diamond Rock
One day a French prize came up the Sound a frigate, torn and battered, but with the British jack floating proudly above the tricolor; no won der that the boys cheered, the masters looking on indulgently and half ready to join them. AS it was a holiday, the Older boys received permission. To walk in to Plymouth under the guidance of a master; and if that gentleman had any breath left when he got there, it was n't the fault of his pupils. The streets were gay with naval uniforms, and boats were darting hither and thither about the harbor; but Tom had no eyes except for the Ships, and among them he soon saw the prize riding quietly at anchor. Standing a little apart, he watched it for a long time; and his heart swelled as he marked the black rows of guns and the splintered holes and disordered rigging, tokens of a rough combat.
Well, my little fellow, said a voice beside him, it 's worth something to see the Old English bunting above that flag.
