A present for my cousin and her husband on their wedding day.


The image was drawn based on one of their many engagement pictures (which were sent out in the wedding invitations). I have to admit to having a difficult time drawing people that I know, so this doesn't look as close to my cousin and her husband as I would have liked. Fortunately, it is at least close enough to tell it is them.

I also had a hard time with my cousin's red hair. Oil pastels are great, but I haven't quite figured out how to work hair highlights with them.

The measurement of the vessel is often intrusted to a petty officer and if he does errand I dont say he doesnthe takes good care it is on the safe side for himself and the ships company.It is not often nowadays that a large vessel Spanish or Portuguese falls to our lot but it is indeed a delicious sensation to be bounding away over the blue Indian Ocean after a suspected threemaster. The excitement rises with every knot that is gained and culminates with the first shot that is fired. During the American war we had a great deal of chasing of big ships and about as many disappointments for they nearly always turned out to be Yankee merchantmen who had mistaken us for the Alabama and given us plenty of searoom.Of course a great deal of emulation exists between the different vessels engaged in slaverhunting and the chagrin is great among the crew of one vessel if some rival gets a prize that ought to have been theirs. Such at least was ours after following a large threemasted vessel for the space of three months. During thCoach Purses Outletis time we boarded her thrice and at last unhappily gave her up in despair. One week afterwards she was taken as a lawful prize by the saucy wee Ariel They Beats By Dre Cheaphad found what vie failed to findslaveirons stowed away in bags of flour and peas.Many of the dhows that are taken and condemned are captured by the aid of boats.

It seems they had been drifted by an adverse current far to the northward. For many days they were carried onwards short of food and worse still short of water.
