“Nelson’s Letters and Despatches,” pp. 409–11. The
editor discovered it in the Record Office, Admiral’s
Despatches, Mediterranean, xxxi. 272.

A Chippendale arm-chair, which was given to Nelson by
his great grandfather, was presented by the boy to Mrs
Luckins, his nurse, when he left home to join the Navy.
It appeared in an auction room so recently as 1908.

Sir Richard Bickerton (1727–92) sailed from England
with a convoy on the 6th February 1782. He took part
in an indecisive engagement with Suffrein, off
Pondicherry, on the 20th June 1783. Not more than
two-thirds of the British crews were effective owing to
scurvy.
11
In his Autobiography Nelson gives the number as three.
12
More detailed particulars of this thrilling siege will be
found in the author’s companion volume, “The Story of
Napoleon,” pp. 60–64.

left.

wrote to the Earl of St Vincent on the 24th July.—See

To bring the vessel round with her stern to the wind.
25
i.e. the Toulon fleet.
26
His “Authentic Narrative” of the battle was published in
1798, and is a plain, straightforward account of Nelson’s
first great naval action without a superior in command.
We shall have occasion to quote it freely in this chapter.
Berry was Nelson’s captain.

Among those who perished were Commodore
Casabianca and his young son, whose bravery is
immortalised in the well-known poem by Mrs Hemans.

Miss Knight is referring to the Earl of St Vincent’s
flagship, and not to a vessel named after him.

Parthenopeia was the ancient name of Naples.
38
Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
39
After the fall of the Bastille on the 14th July 1789, many
of the French nobility left the country. In 1790,
hereditary nobility was abolished by the National
Assembly. Émigrés who had not returned to France by
the 1st January 1792 were declared traitors.

age of thirteen became a children’s nurse.
52
Afterwards increased to eighteen.
53
Subsequently Lord Bexley.
54
Parker’s flag-ship.
55
This incident is bereft of much of its romance by the
knowledge that Sir Hyde Parker sent a verbal message
to the effect that the question of discontinuing the
action was left to the discretion of Nelson.
56
To the Government of Denmark. Elephant, 2nd April, 1801:
Lord Nelson’s object in sending on shore a Flag of Truce
is humanity: he, therefore, consents that hostilities shall
cease till Lord Nelson can take his prisoners out of the
Prizes, and he consents to land all the wounded Danes,
and to burn or remove his Prizes. Lord Nelson, with
humble duty to His Royal Highness, begs leave to say,
that he will ever esteem it the greatest victory he ever
gained, if this Flag of Truce may be the happy
forerunner of a lasting and happy union between my
most gracious Sovereign and his Majesty the King of
Denmark.
57
To the Brothers of Englishmen, the Danes. Lord Nelson has
directions to spare Denmark, when no longer resisting;
but if the firing is continued on the part of Denmark,
Lord Nelson will be obliged to set on fire all the
Floating-batteries he has taken, without having the
power of saving the brave Danes who have defended
them. Dated on board his Britannic Majesty’s ship
Elephant, Copenhagen Roads, April 2nd, 1801.
58
Nelson afterwards found it necessary to address the Rt.
Hon. Henry Addington, then Prime Minister, on the
subject. In a letter written on the 8th May 1801, he
refers to those who thought the sending of a flag of
truce a ruse de guerre, to others who “attributed it to a
desire to have no more fighting, and few, very few, to
the cause that I felt, and which I trust in God I shall
retain to the last moment, humanity.”

The letter will be found in full in footnote 1, p. 175.

great work (pp. 354–5).
