Free bible quote
For two or three weeks peace reigned undisturbed.Porter himself, with his free bible quote officers, took up his quarters in a tent pitched on the shore.Some days after this occurrence, the Essex overhauled a Portuguese vessel, from the captain of which Porter learned that an American frigate had shortly before fought and sunk an English frigate off the coast of Brazil also, that it was rumored that an American corvette of twenty two guns had been brought into Rio, a prize to a British seventy four.The news which he had received made it appear most improbable that he would fall in with either of the United free bible quote States vessels for which he was seeking.While the Essex with her train of captives lay in the harbor at Tumbez, the Georgianna came into port, and was greeted with three cheers by the men of the frigate.His vessel was the Peruvian privateer Nereyda of fifteen guns, and she had captured two American whalers, whose crews were even then in free bible quote the hold of the privateer.The Georgianna now separated from the fleet, and started on an independent cruise, with orders for a rendezvous at certain specific times.She proved to be the Montezuma, free bible quote Capt.The worthy whaler little knew, as he chatted away, that his crew was being transferred to the frigate, and a prize crew sent to take charge of the Montezuma.They seemed to know no fear, and stood gallantly before the advancing free bible quote Americans, fairly darkening the air with clouds of stones and spears.This essential was soon discovered at Nookaheevah, where the ships cast anchor in a fine harbor, which Porter straightway dubbed Massachusetts Bay.With three of these free bible quote the Americans were brought into contact, the Happahs, the Taeehs, and the Typees.But, by the time the boats' prows grated upon the white sand, every native had disappeared and the sole figure visible was that of a young man, who advanced, and, giving a formal naval salute, announced himself as Midshipman John M.The Typees, who inhabited the interior of the island, were beginning to stir up strife against the Americans and free bible quote Porter saw that their insolence must be crushed, or the whole native population would unite in war against him.It was an adventurous and a perilous expedition to undertake but Porter, having decided upon it, wasted no time in getting under way.
