Good early days short story ( ) The day Hornblower dons his Lieutenant uniform (instead of his Midshipman uniform), a mutiny arises on Marguerite. Captain Courtney delights in floggings, drawing blood, and inflicting pain. Fifteen floggings were scheduled for that day. The mutineers admit the flogging is necessary for discipline, but feel that Courtney is too cruel. Hornblower negotiates their demand -- a week without the 15 being flogged. Six days later, Marguerite fights and boards the Spanish Castilla. Towards the end of the action, one of the mutineers shoots Courtney with his dying act. Because of Hornblower, the shot strikes his knee instead of killing him. However, Courtney will never Captain again. Hornblower is promoted from Fourth Lieutenant to First Lieutenant of the Marguerite. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
