Fic : All have won and all shall have prizes.

[nodbear]

On Friday I was able to cram in 3 hours work on anteros_lmc and my project regaring the actual Indefatigable crew in 1797 and I discovered that in the week of January 3-11th they took 4 prizes in 4 days - and the ship suddenly became somewhat short of midshipmen as a whole line of them were dispatched to sail various prizes back to England

Rofl! This still completely creases me up! I can just hear these two mischievous wee boys and of course Archie is being a complete devil! You know I just adore the way you interweave fact and fiction and I think this is one of your best. Silliest yes, but also best :) I hope they didn't drink all that brandy in a oner! These admiralty documents really are a gold mine aren't they?

For the sake of scholarly completion, which I know is as close to your heart as it is to mine ;) here's the full citation for the Cadogan book:

Pearman, R., (1990), The Cadogans at War 1783 - 1864 Haggerston Press, London.

Thanks for the refernce - I searched around in your email and hadn't found it - but I agree it should be complete !

yes,I rather like Georgy and Fleet together - a sort of non -slash junior Archie and Horatio in a way.

Archie is being very naughty indeed - how is poor Horaio now supposed to teach middies when all his concentration has just left his brain for a lower destination ..

I dare say Archie will pay for it later - at least Archie is hoping he will :)
