    Rear Admiral Sir Jushua Pound stood framed in front of the Stern windows of his Cabin.
    Surrounding the table in front of him were the captains of his Squadron.

    Commander George Farthing of the Frigate Concorde looked as if he were about to speak again, but before he could add anything to his report the Admiral broke in.


    " Well gentlemen as you have heard young Farthing has done a thorough job. Not only tracking down part of the French Squadron, but also charting the shoals in the river estuary where they are in hiding.

    We must now act promptly to prevent them from slipping away to join the rest of the Squadron. To that end I intend dispatching Captain Sterling in Bellerophon, and Captain Porter in Phoenix to deal with the French Admiral's Flagship and the two 74s, whilst the rest of the Squadron continues to seek out the rest of the frog ships and bring them to battle. The most important thing is that you disable the Flagship, and do as much damage as possible to the 74s as you can. It is far harder for them to get spares and repair masts than for us with our bases scattered all over the ocean. Damage will prevent them escorting troop ships for a good deal of time, and will hand us the advantage in the whole Indian Ocean from the Cape to Calcutta.

    Any further questions gentlemen? Good. Then I will ask my steward Blenkinsopp to open the Port."

    With that the briefing ended and the real work of the evening commenced.

    Bligh.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
