In Honour I Gained Them,

I Believe My Arrival Was Most Welcome, Not Only To The Commander Of The Fleet But Almost To Every Individual In It.

The Bravest Man Feels An Anxiety 'circa Praecordia' As He Enters The Battle; But He Dreads Disgrace Yet More.

To Do Nothing Was Disgraceful; Therefore I Made Use Of My Understanding.

Time Is Everything; Five Minutes Make The Difference Between Victory And Defeat.

Now I Can Do No More. We Must Trust To The Great Disposer Of All Events And The Justice Of Our Cause. I Thank God For This Opportunity Of Doing My Duty.
