He was careful in the selection of his crew; overhauled the certificates of his AB sand his officers with the most rigid scrutiny: a man with a doubtful character was not for his ship ;and reason good the A riel was his own, and much of his trading was on his own account, although the bulk of his cargoes consisted of consignments from well-known shipping houses. He was only first mate of the new ship when he married Fanny Bayliss, a pretty but delicate girl in her twenty-first year, whose parents were both dead, the distant relatives with whom she lived being glad to hand her and her small portion over to one so worthy, so capable of protecting her from the blasts of ill fortune and of the world, his seven or eight years seniority telling in his favour. The sailor took his bride home to his widowed mother, who had a pretty and picturesque cottage near Woodside, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, over the front of which jasmine and honeysuckle disputed precedence, and where Brian sfather had practised medicine all the years in which his son had grown from youth to manhood.
