| Publisher Description: This is a true story of one of Nelson's cap-tains, he of whom Nelson wrote as "the gallant and good Riou"-high meed of praise glorious-ly won at Copenhagen-but Riou, eleven years before that day, performed a deed, now almost forgotten, which, for unselfish heroism, ranks among the brightest in our brilliant naval an-nals, and in the sea story of Australia in particu-lar. |
