Gone to Sea in a Bucket Quotes

“His name is Sub-Lieutenant Gilmour,’ said the boss, haughtily. ‘I wouldn’t be too impressed with him. I understand from the Admiral his previous boat was sunk, and, according to the story being told by his then commanding officer, the only reason this Gilmour chap survived is because he deserted his post. The boat’s loss has not been announced, so nothing’s been done. Yet. But there’s a big black mark over his name, and those have a habit of catching up with one, sooner or later.”
