Four ships which escaped after the action were captured by Sir Richard Strachan on the 4th of November, and not while the war continued did the French and Spanish navies ever recover the tremendous blow they had received off Cape Trafalgar.
Not only was it not always composed entirely of ships-of-the-line, especially in the French service, but in 1805, the year of the full development, we have Sir Richard Strachan using the heavy frigates attached to his battle-squadron as a "Light Division," and giving them a definite tactical function. The collapse of the French Navy put a stop to further developments of either idea.
No, Sims, my lad; it would not do to have both idiots." "I saw Mr Strachan last, from all I can make out," said another man; "send me, sergeant." "Ah, yes, Davis, you will do. Where was it though?" "It was in the nullah, sergeant.
There's no one else." "Clowes thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to shove Strachan on the wing, and put somebody else back." "Who is there to put?" "Jervis?" "Not good enough. No, it's better to be weakish on the wing than at back. Besides, Rand-Brown may do all right. He played well against you." "Yes," said Trevor.
He doesn't take his passes, and Strachan gets past him every time." "Is Strachan playing on the wing?" Strachan was the first fifteen full-back. "Yes. They've put young Bassett back instead of him. Sey-mour's. Buck up, Seymour's. We-ell played! There, did you ever see anything like it?" he broke off disgustedly.
And yet, where is the father who would be free from torture, were he assured that his soul's yearning would be satisfied, and that no high claim of unrelated love would ever rival or dispute his own? It was my own fault that Margaret's attachment to Angus Strachan came to me as a bolt from the blue.
"I say, Tom," said Williams to Strachan, "fancy the regiment turning out like that for Commanding Officers' parade at Aldershot!" James Gubbins managed to distinguish himself as usual, for he let a floundering mule knock him over and roll upon him. Having to help the animal out, he seized one of his hind legs and hauled at it, with this result
Precise information is difficult to get, for while some decline to say a word, others are mutually contradictory, and a State Commission would hardly sift truth from the confusing mass of details, denials, assertions, and counter-assertions. This much is clear enough. A tenant named Ruane was required to leave a house, with ground, which he had held on the estate bought by Mr. Strachan.
A terrified horse gave trouble in the landing him one day, and Tom Strachan, who was with the fatigue party which had to do it, lent his personal assistance, and with success, but he grew warm over the job. As he was wiping the perspiration from his forehead Major Elmfoot rode up. "Well, Strachan," he said, "how do you like this work? Do you want it over that you may begin fighting the Arabs?"
And this certainly is a modern shelter trench. There are battles fought here, you know, whenever the generals are too lazy to go as far as the Fox Hills," said Strachan, irreverently. "But look at the view.
