PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
177
PLATE V.—Urged to the utmost Extravagance by the Glass,
which calls for fresh sacrifices every day, the tradesmen's
Bills increase.
PLATE VI.—Victim to Arabella's ardent passion for the Glass,
her husband goes to the Queen's bench, and the WlFE is forced
to go out Charing.
" There's a postman coming here, There are two men coming, now,
A postman coming ; Two strange men coming;
He's got a lot more hills, I fear, 'Ti_s_useless making any row
That postman coming.
I hafe to hear his dreadful knock,
I wish my nerves were stronger
From every note I get a shock •
They tell me I their patience uiock—
Ttiey're tired of wailing longer."
Wi!h the strange men coming.
They take him slowly to the Bench—
No prison need be stronger,
And soon, the wretched tale to clench,
The wi^e will he a charing wench—
Only wait a little longer.
THE GREAT SEA-SERPENT. operations of the shep's crew. My opinions i3 agenst seccan beestes as
clane agenst aw reeson and probabeelity and I downa mind ony instance
The Dtedalus Frigate, which dropped anchor at Plymouth on the whech sawtisfied me mare than the abuv."
4th, brings news of an old friend—
THE GREAT SEA-SERPENT! !
The wonderful animal is still "to be seen alive ! alive!" for the
captain, most of the officers, and crew of the frigate have seen it.
Incapable as we are of suspecting the veracity of a gentleman who
wiites R.N. after his name, we immediately dispatched " Our Own
Reporter" to Plymouth, who brings us back the subjoined deposi'ions
of several eye-witnesses, who, without any "cracking," describe the
Kraken in detail. As the deposers are "true British tars," their vera-
city is unquestionable.
" The 'davy of me, Thomas Carey, Quartermaster on board 71.M.S.
Dadalus, 20 guns, Captain McQuhae, R.N, commanding; off
Santyleny of a Friday, September 7tk, .six bells; weather clear ;
strong breeze SS.W., under clcse-reefed top-sails, and all well on
board. The following remarkable occurrence, as by my private log:"—
" I, Thomas Carey, was at that time a standen at the larbud gang-
way, conwersin with a ship-mate, which I remaiked a suden apperance
about four pints on the larbud bough, we then runnin eight nots, in
the likeness of somut floating, and an 'ead with firy eyes, as reared
itself up and snorted three times distinctly, gashing its teeth, which
a middle-sized man might ave stood uprite in the mouth thereof, and a
sort of main, what colour unable to say, aving been short-sited and no
glass handy, which the gunner's mate went down for hisn, but the
cretur vanished afore he come back, with a smell like brimstone, me
and several others washed the above for the matter of three minits,
and ered it a lashin of the water aft, about fifty fathem, or thereabouts,
supposed its tale—which I ave seen the Plying Duchman twise—and
often ered tell of the See-Sarpint, but never seed it till the present
riting; nothin come of this ere apperance this crews, but who nose?
and I am reddy to testify my voracity to this ere riting. So no more

Quarter-Master, H.M.S. Dcedalus, 20, Capt. McQuplae, Commanding"
Depositions of James Clavers, Dennis Copcoran, John Swabstir,
Able Seamen, and Thomas Cheeks, Marine on board, 8fc.
" Thomas Carey avin told the gunner's mate, which he went for his
glass, and he shode us the sarpint—a brown head with six roes of teeth
the same as a shark, only sharper, and a blew smoke out of the mowthe,
and green skales on the showlders, like epulets, shinin brighter nor
dollars, which looked towards the ship, likewise back fins, very sharp,
ekal to capsn bars in lenth and thikness, and he must have been a
undred fathem, in ciles like a cabul stowed, and about the thik of a
man's thi, going twelve nots and smellin dredful, which the capt'n of
the old called up the main atchway who was a smokin, which it was
aganste orders at that time, and was wisible fo the nakid i for a £
of an hour, knokin the water about under his bows, and standing end
on for the ship, which we expected nothink but he was a comin aborde,
and Thomas Carey thinks if he ad a done according, it wud have
been the wuss for ship and crue, he bein an old man and ewsed to such
things, avin been 5 times cast away, besides aksidents, and blown
up, and is a good skolar, wich he has written this 'ere count from the
mowthes of your humbel servints to command.
" Their mark."
On requesting the favour of the Captain's deposition, to add to the
above, we regret to say " Our Own Reporter " was told to get out of the
ship, on pain of a very disagreeable alternative, which, to use the words
of his letter, "he little expected to have had proposed to him from one
gentleman towards another."
NEW ARCHITECTURAL WORKS.
Shortly will be published, a new edition of Nash's Mansions. They
will consist of—
1st. The Quadrant, which will be brought out plain, and without
columns, on a much smaller scale, adapted to the tradesman's pocket.
The cuts will be very numerous. Rough specimens, done up in strong
boards, may already be seen in Regent Street.
2nd. Buckingham Palace, enlarged to a handsome royal size, and with
- ■ a new frontispiece. Nearly complete.

Thomas Carey, and he sairtanly told me he saw sec a secht, which I
hae nay doot' he thinks he speaks the truth, but am of openion, mysel
being in the top aboot sax bells, he might ha seen a bucket whech the
cook's mate messed out of the galley soon after the above date. I did
not smell ony smell of brumstone, but I wad not say there might not ha
been sec a smell, brumstone matches being much employed in vawrious
England. A brick will be sent as a specimen of the building, to any
one who forwards the requisite number of postage stamps.
4th. To face the above, a portrait of the Architect contemplating his
works. Underneath is the motto, Si monumentum quceris, non circumspice.
The Architect is handled very freely; in fact, looking at it in every
light, we can safely say we have never seen a finer specimen of Doo.
