About this book
Brave Old Salt, or Life on the Quarter Deck, is by Oliver Optic. The dinner bell rang, and Somers, though he did not feel intimate enough with the family to invite himself to dine, was easily prevailed upon to remain and gallantly gave his arm to Mrs. Portington, as Kate, for some wayward reason of her own, had already seized upon that of Lieutenant Pillgrim.
The text says Walmsley began to protest against his confinement, being a British subject, and insisted upon seeing the commandant of the fortress. The text says that while everybody was listening to a debate, Pillgrim slipped into the crowd and disappeared. A passage speaks of the commodore's house filled with grief and lamentation, and of a man who had been suddenly stricken down in New Orleans, where his ship was stationed.
