What did Captain Ogilvy advise Ruby?

Captain Ogilvy's advice to Ruby as he sailed away on the sea life was to 'always go by chart and compass, not forgettin' to take soundin's w'en cruisin' off of a bad coast'^[1]. He also advised him to, 'Keep a sharp look-out to wind'ard, an' mind yer helm'^[1].

The captain's final words of advice to Ruby were, 'Cheer up, Ruby; never say die so long as there's a shot in the locker. That's the advice of an old salt, an' you'll find it sound, the more ye ponder of it'^[1].
