ue tar and man of valour.These were my sentiments at the time, and these
remain my sent
iments still; but as, while on board the frigate, my liberty of thought did
not extend
to liberty of expression, I was obliged to keep these sentiments to myself;
though, ind
eed, I had some thoughts of addressing a letter, marked Private and
Confidential, to hi
s Honour the Commodore, on the subject.My station at the batteries was at one
of the thi
rty-two-pound carronades, on the starboard side of the quarter-deckI did not
fancy this s
tation at all; for it is well known on shipboard that, in time of action, the
quarter-de
ck is one of the most dangerous posts of a man-of-war. The reason is, that the
officers o
f the highest rank are there stationed; and the enemy have an ungentlemanly
way of target
-shooting at their buttons. If we should chance to engage a ship, then, who
could tell bu
t some bungling small-arm marks-man in the enemy's tops might put a bullet
through me ins
tead of the Commodore? If they hit him, no doubt he would not feel it much,
for he was us
ed to that sort of thing, and, indeed, had a bullet in him already. Whereas, I
was altog
ether unaccustomed to having blue pills playing round my head in such an
indiscriminate
way. Besides, ours was a flag-ship; and every one knows what a peculiarly
dangerous pred
icament the quarter-deck of Nelson's flag-ship was in at the battle of
Trafalgar; how t
he lofty tops of the enemy were full of soldiers, peppering away at the
English Admiral
and his officers. Many a poor sailor, at the guns of that quarter-deck, must
have recei
ved a bullet intended for some wearer of an epaulet.jullie /virtual /gloire
