Day 5
Have been v. busy. Captain is def. a Pervy Midshipman fancier.
Had dinner with Captain and other men. Captain trying to cover affair with Doctor. Really, "to wives and sweethearts, may they never meet"
Was captain hitting on me at dinner? Asked about Nelson. Said he served under him at the Nile with Pullings. Perhaps Captain had some relationship with lieutenant? Would be more comprehensible to understand while Pullings is leftenant. Then said how Nelson made your heart glow. Looked at me. V. scared when I saw the look in his eyes.
Did learn good advice told to captain from Nelson "Never mind the manoeuvres, just go straight at 'em." Must keep that in mind with Will.
"Lesser of two weevils." Is that supposed to mean something?
Suspect Hollom of being a eunuch. Has pretty voice. Stupid Hollom. But he was singing to Nagle...
No sign of being Leftenant....
