one after one
I , however , had gone up on deck , and was eagerly looking about , expecting to see my father arrive . Mr Hassel was the first to come up the side . He staggered aft to the Captain to make his report . Meantime whips were rove , and , one after one , those who that afternoon had left the frigate in high health and spirits were hoisted up dead and mangled in every variety of way . Nearly thirty bodies were thus brought on deck . Many others were hoisted up and carried immediately below , where the surgeon attended them , and of the whole number only seven were able to walk the deck steadily . I eagerly looked out for my father .
