As soon as the hostile force was clearly made out, the British divisions bore up and stood to the eastward, steering by the Victory's compass ENE. The position and formation of the British main divisions were by this made exactly those in which they are shown in the diagram usually attached to the celebrated memorandum of 9th October 1805.
"We come from slavery's grave unbound, And mountains and the vales resound With songs of jubilee. Ascending from Oppression's night, Behold the dawn of freedom's light! Soldiers of God, arise! The enemy will rue this day, For victory's eagle scents the prey And onward quickly flies. To arms! to horse! my comrades brave! And let the battle-standard wave, For now is honor's day.
Anne's conviction of her loss increased with the darkening of the early winter time. Bob was not a cautious man who would avoid needless exposure, and a hundred and fifty of the Victory's crew had been disabled or slain.

"Dupont and Kidder took their medicine as patiently as we did, and they liked it so well they're going to have more of it." Then he told Quincy what Dupont had said. "The victory's ours," cried Quincy.
"I do think we might be allowed to wear colours now and again say on Sundays. As it is, I dare say many will be pickin' holes in my character, even for this little outbreak." "There's a notion, now! Why, 'tis Queen Victory's Year and a pretty business if one widow mayn't pay her respects to another!" "It do always seem strange to me," Mrs Bosenna mused. "What?"

"Wal," said Caleb, spreading out the paper again, "I'll leave a blank for the names, that'll save trouble.
