Synopsis
Excerpt from Ben Brace, Vol. 2 of 3: The Last of Nelson's Agamemnons
It is an awful thing going into an engage ment like this. Every preparation had been made, and we stood in silence awaiting the fire of our enemies. Their line presented a noble appearance: they were anchored in compact order close in with the shore, describing an oh tuse angle in its form, flanked by gun-boats, mortar-vessels, and four large frigates, these again were supported by a battery of guns and mortars on the island, near which it was requi site to pass.
The situation was well chosen for it gave a decided advantage. They had no sails to work, no anchors to drop, no ropes to belay, no posi tion to ensure; they had only to blaze away steadily; their ships forming fixed batteries, and the batteries protecting the ships.
