A TAtEs OF THE BRITISH OOAST GUARD.
When !joined the Scorpion sloop of war. then (1810)
on the West India station. there were a father and•os
amongst the crew whose names, as horns on the ship's
books., were John Somers. and John ...11ice ,Somers. The
oddity in this country of g iving a boy • female baptismal
name, had been uo doubt jestingly temkrked upon by
l
thus., who were aware of it , but withithe Sailors, the lad
Passed, as A plly Somers. The father wis ap roach•ng fifty,
the sou could not hare been more thin seventeen yearis
of age. The elder Somers, who had 'attained to the rat
ing of • boatswain. was a stern, hardOent man, with •
look as cold and clear as polished steel, it'd 3 cast-iron
mouth.tudicative of pallexible. indomitable firtnness of will
and resolution. The son, on the contrary, though swim
what- resembling thee. father in ontlide of feature, had •
nidd, attractive, ahnost feminine appeal. and a alight
graceful frame. I was not long in dreorering that, ob
durate and self engrossed as the midi appeared, the boy
was really the idol image in which Ws affection, and his
hope* were . centered. Ilia eye con stantly followed the
.notions of the tad, and it spreared to be 6is unceasing
aim and study-to lighten the duties :he had to perform, t
and to shield him from the rough usage to which yoong-
szeis in his position were generally subjected by the mot- ,
I•
ley crews of those days.'
( One day a strianglinstanee in proof ibis master-feeling
occurred. Ally Somers some time previou.l:, went on

i . nd it was with di caltY that he Was !restrained from in
ti
Riming instant chapti.ement on the cdterider. An oppor
tunity for partiallyreaking his hoaiided vengeance oc
curred about sax •eeks afterwards. lind it was eagerly
embraced. The sailor who - had dl-tiled young Somers.
was sentenced to florets -a two dozen iiiohes for drunken
ness and insubordination. lie was elem.& to strip, plac

by no Means harsh or cruel in his °tee. and has assist

devolved, influeneed by him, were {Aleut the gentlest

occasion he was ir another and very

wife, or other caUses. I did not asce4tain. Somers was,
it appeared,'• native of the west of F.ngland, and it was
quite evident had rececved a much hotter education than
usually falls to individu+la ofhis clasls.
At the elate of the war, Somers aiid his son were with
thou.ands' of °theirs, turned adrift from the royal service.
