I never saw quite so wretched an example of what a sea-faring life can do: but to a degree, I know it is the same with them all; they are all knocked about, and exposed to every climate, and every weather, till they are not fit to be seen. It is a pity they are not knocked on the head at once, before they reach Admiral Baldwin's age. ↗

I played as a 17-year-old with Walter Smith, who must have been about 32. So I've known Walter for 21 years. ↗
