Scarce one of England's walls of oak" in Nelson's time but had some woman aboard who braved the perils and hardsh1ps of the sea in order to be with her husband. In nearly every one of the twenty-seven line of battleships under Nelson's S command in the great battle of Traf- algar was one or more women, wives of sailors Surprise may be expressed that English men-of-war's men were permitted to have their wives aboard. It was only by special permission of the admiralty that this could be done and then permission was granted somewhat in the light of penance for sanctioning the press gang system, which was largely in vogue at that time. Men were seized in the streets and other public places and compelled to serve in British warships because ''the king needed men" Some of the men thus seized had political influence and, being unjustly compelled to serve in the navy, were permitted to have their wives share their involuntary servitude. es
