Cut And Run: The Fourth Book In The Fighting Sail Series - Plot & Excerpts
Admiral Sir John Jervis, Lord St Vincent and commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet, sat back in his chair and considered matters for a moment. King used the brief pause to look about; he had been in so few first rates, and Victory's great cabin was certainly one to remember. Stout beams, yet tastefully furnished, she carried an air of understated power and, despite her advancing years, was still considered one to be of the best sailers in the fleet. “Your prize, Mr King, she is sound?” A senior captain whose name King had missed was addressing him, and he switched back to the real world with a jolt. “Yes sir. I'd say she would show a fair turn of speed.” The man spoke in hushed tones to Jervis, who nodded readily. The summons had come from the admiral barely a quarter of an hour after Pevensey Castle dropped anchor. Patterson was unusually subdued, as well he might be, his first official duty as a ship's captain being a meeting with a commander-in-chief.
