THE story must now go back a few days to explain the movements of the ships; and for this we are fortunate in being able to supplement the narratives of Fabry and Campbell with that of Ussher, the captain of the Undaunted, together with the vessel's logs preserved in the Public Record Office.2 Ussher's narrative is introduced by an interesting prologue. In the month of August, i8I3 [he writes] I was stationed in the Undaunted, frigate, in the Gulf of Lyons, with the Redwing, Sir John Sinclair, and the Espoir, the Hon. Captain Spencer, under my orders. Spencer had brought letters and papers from England speculating on Napoleon's downfall and flight.
