Hornblower: Mutiny Page #8

Synopsis: Sir Edward Pellew visits Horatio Hornblower who is jail in Jamaica awaiting his trial on a charge of making a mutiny. His problems began six months earlier when he was appointed Third Lieutenant aboard the HMS Renown under the famous Captain James Sawyer. It soon becomes apparent to several of the officers, including Horatio's friend Archie Kennedy who is aboard ship as Fourth Lieutenant that the Captain is suffering from madness of some sort. He is cruel and sees conspiracies everywhere. Both Horatio and Midshipman Welland prove to be the particular objects of his wrath. The situation is not helped by an inexperience First Lieutenant who does not command the Captain's respect and a newly arrived Second Lieutenant who doesn't seem ready to challenge the Captain in any way.

But you do realize, sir,

it's your word against his.

It was for the good

of the service, sir

and for the safety of the ship.

By God, Mr. Hornblower

I hope you can back that up

with solid evidence

because from where I'm standing

I wouldn't lay great odds

on an acquittal.

No, sir.

I'm afraid you're right.

So the captain's condition

was due

to falling down the hatchway.

That's what seemed to push him

over the edge, sir.

It's a very interesting choice

of words, Mr. Hornblower.

How did the captain

come to fall?
