"Three men on the deck of a small sailing-vessel. Boswell, his knees flexed, stands in profile to the left holding the end of a rope and looking at Col, in Highland dress, who holds up his finger admonishingly. His Scots cap flies from his head, his coat-tails blow in the wind, his ink-pot dangles from his neck, his 'Journal' is under his left arm. A sailor (right) stands in back view leaning against the side of the vessel."--British Museum online catalogue

"Social satire; two sailors on horseback, one with a pipe in his hatband on a small white horse with a spotted handkerchief on a stick attached to its bridle, the other smoking a pipe on a large brown horse; they ask each other how their journeys on their horses have been, using language associated with ships, for example: "endeavouring to double the point at Mile-end she fell foul of a dray, and smack she lay me keel upermost in a stinking ditch ... I hoisted my pocket handkerchief on her topmast as a sign of distress, which was seen by some comrades at anchor in the moorings. ..."."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A pretty young woman standing by the pump offers a tumbler to a burly sailor wearing a petticoat, who scowls and flinches, scratching his head. She says: "Be assured it is an excellent beverage for Gentlemen who have been a long time at sea." He answers: "Why lookee Ma-am I dont wish to be unpolite But if your Ladyships Honor pleases--I had rather hang fire--a bit--for d'ye see it gave our Poll, the belly ache--and D--n the Gripes, I never could bear them they twiddled me up decently when I was last in the Meditaranean." On the right are two other sailors, wearing trousers; an elderly man, in profile to the right, tries to drink, but the water falls to the ground; he says: "D--d Queer Tipple to be sure!" The third, holding his tumbler carefully, proffers a coin to a small boy on the extreme right, saying, "Harkee young two-shoes [a nursery colloquialism applied to a little girl from 'The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes', 1766, the earliest date discovered by Partridge being 1858; 'Slang Dict.', 1938]--go and get me a pint of half and half and a Squeeze of Lemon--for D--n me if I could drink it neat if I was never to weigh Anchor Again."

"Two sailors face each other at a small table, on which is a centre-dish of pork bristling like a porcupine. Behind the table stands the hostess looking warily at one sailor (r.); she says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powdered it with my own Hands." He answers, scowling: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress, while your hand was in, I wish you had Shaved it also." The other (l.), spiking a bristling chunk of meat on his knife, says: "Why Jack - may I never cast Anchor again, if there ant bristles in this Pork as thick as Cables." Beside him is a dog. Both sailors wear striped trousers with buckled shoes. A punch-bowl is on a side-table, and the print of a ship on the wall indicates a sailor's house of call."--British Museum catalogue

Abstract:
A gathering of countrymen, lawyers, and sailors stare with shock and consternation at the carcass of a shark laying on a table before them. A countryman begins the dialogue with an exclamation, "Dang it if I ever saw such a thing in my life, why it would swallow a man alive!" while an attorney continues with a question, "Neighbor Stump says very true, I never saw anything like it in the whole course of my practice as a country attorney. Pray my friend what do you call it?" A sailor smugly jests, "Why it is a shark d'ye see according to the lubbers lingo on shore, but we gemmen in his Majesty's service call him a sea lawyer!!!

"Three sailors ride away from the sea-shore (right) where a man-of-war is at anchor. All are in difficulties. A fourth is on his hands and knees on the extreme left; he looks up to say: "Mind what you are at Messmates for I am upset, and the frigate I came on board of--has been under weigh, without me this half hour." The foremost, clasping his rearing horse round the neck, looks back to say: "Keep more to the Star-board and be D--d, to you--dont you see how you make my vessel, run a head." The next man is tied to his galloping mount with heavy ropes; and he says: "Here I come my Hearty's --Right and tight,--smart sailing, but never mind that--I cant be cast away for my commander, Heavens bless him has lash'd me to the deck, with some tough Old Cables!" The last sailor's horse kicks with tail erect; he exclaims: "D--n me--how she heaves. Why this is worse than a Jolly Boat, in the Bay of Biscay. and what a D--d noise she makes in her poop--Signals for sailing I suppose.""--British Museum online catalogue
