Abstract:

"A young sailor sits on a large sea-chest with folded arms, right leg raised above the chest. He wears short jacket, striped trousers, and buckled shoes, and smokes a short pipe. Behind, rigging and a sail are indicated. He prays to 'Mighty Neptune' for a stout ship, honest messmates, plenty of grog, a good commander, a good prize, brandy, and tobacco. He ends: 'save me from a Guinea-man [slave-ship] and a Tender [used by a press-gang], and I'll serve cheerfully, and sing King George and his Navy for ever. - Huzza! to the end of the Chapter."--British Museum online catalogue.
