Last of all the rector entered and, mounting the platform, read the “reports” for the day—that is, the names of those who had transgressed and the penalties imposed. After the reading, the Sixth Form went upstairs to their Latin class with Mr. Barclay, and the day’s work began. On the morning following his encounters with Westby and with Collingwood, Irving as usual took charge of the Study.
I had arranged to make a Missionary tour to Lake Superior during the summer, and it so happened that I fell in with the troops on their way up the lake and did service for them as chaplain while they were encamped at Thunder Bay. It was a busy scene in the dock at Collingwood just prior to starting.
Twice I opened my pistol-case to blow out my brains, and it was but the thought that Nelson might have a use for me that held me back." Collingwood shook the hand of the unfortunate captain. "Admiral Nelson was not long in finding a use for you, Troubridge," said he.

But I was close at hand our office was filled with the dust in a few seconds." "It was a sudden affair?" asked Collingwood. "It was one of those affairs," answered Cobcroft slowly, "that some folk had been expecting for a long time only nobody had the sense to see that it might happen at some unexpected minute. It was a very old chimney. It looked all right stood plumb, and all that. But Mr.
Collingwood maintains that the West Indian trip was to weaken the British force on the European side, and states that the return of Rochefort's squadron confirmed him in this.
