How she was manned. How she bore herself in pursuit and retreat. How by cunning she outwitted her foes. How she fought the French Revolution. How she served a feeble and a forceful commander. How she cleared her decks for action. How she hunted Villeneuve. How she sailed for Trafalgar's bay. How her Master made a "Memorandum." How she broke the Allied line. How her Master lay in the cockpit while the battle thundered above. How she signalled sad news to the Fleet. How she weathered the storms and reached her last anchorage.
