Summary
Harrassed by the French and endangered by personal enmity and nature's unpredictable violence, Nathanial Drinkwater escorts a half-armed ship to the Cape of Good Hope. Reprint.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: In A Brig of War, Nathaniel Drinkwater is promoted lieutenant of the brig Hellebore. He finds routine convoy escort duties end abruptly when Admiral Nelson, pursuing the French fleet to Egypt, sends Hellebore to the Red Sea with an urgent warning to the British squadron there. However, Nelsonâs apprehensions over French ambitions in the East are more than justified. Edouard Santhonax, Drinkwaterâs old enemy, is already preparing for a French descent on India.
The hunt for this elusive Frenchman and his frigate is combined with British naval operations on the flank of Napoleonâs Egyptian campaign. It is during the attack on Kosseir that Drinkwater is left for dead. His escape and the subsequent desperate attack on Santhonax leads to a still more dangerous situation under Augustus Morris, former tyrant of the midshipmenâs berth on HMS Cyclops.
Drinkwaterâs fight to bring a half-armed ship safely to the cape of Good Hope is beset with personal enmity, the activity of the French and the violence of the sea.
