“And poor Murray?” said Jack.
“He’ll be all right—a bullet clean through the chest. That’s nothing to a young fellow like him.”
“Well, stay and dine,” said Jack.
“Willing, sir. What a glorious day we’ve had! But I can assure you, Captain Mackenzie, I’d rather have had my head above the hatches, now and then, anyhow.”
“Be content,” said Jack, laughing; “it might have been blown off, you know.”

Depends upon the man;
Let all then in their duty stand,
Each point of duty weigh,
Remembering those can best command
Who best know to obey.”—Dibdin.
