34 페이지 - If a man die, shall he live again ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
265 페이지 - The worst of my enemies now allow that I have pitched upon a man who knows his duty, and is a brave, honest, and able officer. I will not tire you with panegyric, but am not the less eager in dealing out to all around me the praises due to your merit.
295 페이지 - My eye on them had more dread than the enemy's fire, and they knew it would be fatal. No regard was paid to rank — admirals as well as captains, if out of their station, were instantly reprimanded by signals or messages sent by frigates ; and, in spite of themselves, I taught them to be what they had never been before — officers...

306 페이지 - It is with concern inexpressible, mixed with indignation, that the duty I owe my Sovereign and my country obliges me to acquaint your lordships that during the action with the French fleet, on the tyth, and his Majesty's, the British flag was not properly supported.
463 페이지 - All the fruits of the earth, then standing, have been destroyed ; most of the trees of the island have been torn up by the roots ; and (what will give as strong an idea of the force of the wind as any thing) many of them were stripped of their bark.
230 페이지 - ... without a thorough change in naval affairs, the discipline of our navy will be lost. I could say much, but will not. You will hear of it from themselves.
