    Good job he went down with his ship and we won. I daren't think what the Admiralty would have said had we lost.

    The Admiralty sir would have lied as usual.
    Bligh.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
