In his report of the fight Captain Jessen wrote against his name: "Fell in battle honored as he is missed." They made his grave on shore with the fallen sailors, and as the sea washed up other bodies they were buried with them. The British captured the wreck, but they could only set fire to it after removing the wounded. In the night it blew up where it stood.
I have told you, and I repeat it, Never shall my hand sign a humiliating Peace. Friedrich had marched from Lubben, after three days, settling of affairs, OCTOBER 20th; arrived at Jessen, on the Elbe, within wind of Wittenberg, in two days more. "He formed a small magazine at Duben," says Archenholtz; "and was of a velocity, a sharpness," like lightning, in a manner!
The plot, planned six months before, had been thrice frustrated, by chance or destiny at the diet of Jessen, at Stockholm, and at Haga. The king killed, all his favourites all the instruments of his government must be sacrificed to the vengeance of the senate and the restoration of the aristocracy.
Miss Jessen, the secretary of the Danish Council of Nurses, called at once and arranged a most delightful programme for every day of our stay in Copenhagen, bringing us invitations to see over the most important hospitals, and the Finsen Light Institute, the old Guildhall, the picture gallery, and anything else any of us wanted to see.
The sun had set, but the night was clear when the fight between the three ships began. With one on either side, hardly a pistol-shot away, Jessen returned shot for shot, giving as good as they sent, and with such success that at the end of an hour and a half the Britons dropped astern to make repairs.
Willemoes was on leave serving in the Russian navy, but hastened home when news came of the burning of Copenhagen, and found a berth under Captain Jessen. On March 22, 1808, the Prince Christian, so she was popularly called, hunting a British frigate that was making Danish waters insecure, met in the Kattegat the Stately and the Nassau, each like herself of sixty-eight guns.
Dr. Brukner has contributed to the Proceedings of the Vienna Academy of Sciences a paper on the "Chemical Nature of the Different Varieties of Starch," especially in reference to the question whether the granulose of Nageli, the soluble starch of Jessen, the amylodextrin of W. Nageli, and the amidulin of Nasse are the same or different substances.
