ships were armed were priyatcers in time OF
war The result Is that they not only knew nayl'

with those qualities the Intelligence which makes
great merchants.

equal 10 the occasion. although they had Ind no
naval training As time went on they acquired
pnyul training so that I'm the later wars. In the
early part of the nineteenth century, they mot
