This was an order for Lord Nelson to Join
the Channel feet without the smallest delay.
Immediately all was confusion. Instant o.

to the great entrance, and in less than an hour
his lordship was seated, bidding adieus and
shaking hands with his host and friends, whs
had followed him to take last farewell. The
