Jo3eph pines for his lot, " 3£K&nndt live alone," when Hebe fortunately comes forward with the ofjfef; accepted, of soothing and comforting his declining days. Captain Corcoran is a philosopher, for though he was once a captain of them all, and had now became only a member of it he crew, he determined to marry with a wife in his humble rank of lift), and asks Little Buttercup to Uke him.
