With the autograph of Dickens's fifth son, who died a Lieut. in the Royal Navy, 'Sydy. Dickens, H.M.S. ''Sutton''. Feb. 1871.' Stanfield remarked, during his first cruise, to his father, 'Your boy has got his sea-legs on by this time!' 'I do not know', remarked Dickens, 'about his getting his sea-legs on; but if I may judge from his writing, he certainly has not got his A B C legs on.'
