A drawing again inspired by idler_1814's Hornblower fanfiction "Run Aground".

Love it! Thank you!

The blunderbuss--the one from Run Aground, anyway--is actually real. I saw it in an auction catalog, loved the inscription, and knew that I had to incorporate it into a story somewhere. Imagine my surprise, when refreshing my memory of Flying Colours in preparation for writing Run Aground, I discovered exactly why and how to use it.

What a wonderful illustration! and I love the fact that the blunderbuss is real :)

Thank you very much!
For drawing this pic I looked for the image of blunderbuss. And before I got it on internet I had thought it's a bigger (longer) weapon like rifles... !
I don't know how many wrong images I have still ... X(

I'm relieved to know you liked it, thank you!
As you know I love the scenes of Bush & Styles in your story and the episode of blunderbuss was especially impressive. I have hoped that more skillful artist would make the illustration... but they seem to be busy and have no time for it, so I tried to draw it by myself.
(I hope our dear black_hound would read this comment ;)

Blunderbuss or not, I believe... "unlucky is he who stands before" either Bush or Hornblower at this point in their lives.

Yeah, absolutely!

Beside, too....just ask poor Marie, or Longley.....

That'll be the infamous Hornblower proximity clause...I confess I shed a tear for poor Longley and my fears for Mound were sadly confirmed :(

Lovely, as ever.
