I hurried aft, and soon found the surgeon, who was in his dispensary.

Twice a week the ship's surgeon examined each man, to see that he was perfectly healthy.

His companions had long ago declared that he was cut out for a surgeon—or a butcher, like his father.

After a few bitter tears, which only pained his eyes the more, the poor boy submitted to the surgeon's orders.

He was brought home carefully and slowly; no surgeon had been upon the spot, but one was called to him immediately.
