"Oh yes you will," spoke a voice, seemingly above their heads. "I should like," said the Admiral, "to have met Nelson. In all my going a-fishing I never fell in his way." "I will hire a vessel and chase him; I will pursue him, though he should lead me to the very gates of Hell. Oh, my precious God! I, who have ever striven to act my part well in the service of my country! I, who have ever struggled to live an honourable and a stainless life as a gentleman and a sailor!
