 73    2,    2|         westerly breezes, and the DUNCAN might almost have dispensed
 74    2,    2|      attention of navigators. The DUNCAN appeared to glide over a

 96    2,    7|       anxious on that score.~“The DUNCAN can rejoin us, or we can
 97    2,    7|         on the contrary, then the DUNCAN can come to us there. Who

105    2,   13|   advisable to send orders to the DUNCAN to be at the coast?”~“What

110    2,   16|   Lordship can send orders to the DUNCAN.”~“I have to add,” said
111    2,   16|       impatiently.~“Yes, that the DUNCAN should leave Melbourne,
