“I am sorry to inform you that I am wounded in the left shoulder, and that William Hillman was killed at the same time: the shot that killed him and three others wounded me and five more. Another of my messmates, Thomas Crosby, was also killed; they both went to their guns like men, and died close to me. Crosby was shot in three places. Pray inform their poor friends of their death, and remind them that they died at the same time as Nelson, and in the moment of glorious victory. Remember me to all my relations and friends; tell them I am wounded at last, but that I do not much mind it, for I had my satisfaction of my enemies, as I never fired my gun in pain I was sure to hit them; I killed and wounded them in plenty. Should have written you sooner, but the pain in my shoulder would not let me.” During the week following Trafalgar the _Britannia_ received 381 French prisoners on board: 48 from _L’Aigle_, a captured seventy-four; 140 from the recaptured _Berwick_, a former British seventy-four; the rest from the captured _Intrépide_, another seventy-four. The names of all the prisoners are carefully entered in the _Britannia’s_ books, and among them appears the name of a Turk, mentioned also by Lieutenant Halloran as being received on board—Abdalla Fadalla, a prisoner from the _Intrépide_. * * * * * According to the ship’s books these were the officers, in addition to Lord Northesk, serving on board the _Britannia_ at Trafalgar:— Captain—Charles Bullen.
