DEAKIN AND CO. AND THE LOST BRIG "RESOLUTE." It had just gone one bell in the first watch, and so was nearly time for the frugal supper, partaken of every night in the saloon of the _San Salvador_. The fact is, breakfast was served sharp at eight o'clock, dinner at one, and a high tea at six. The tea was really a kind of a sea dinner in itself, for the meat and biscuits were always put down, with soft tack (bread) if there was any.
