An Earldom was conferred upon the Rev. William Nelson, a large sum of money was voted by Parliament for the purchase of an estate to be named after Trafalgar, and certain monies were given to the dead Admiral’s two sisters. By such means the country sought to discharge its heavy debt to the glorious memory of Nelson. Nothing was done for Lady Hamilton, and although, at the time of Nelson’s death, her income amounted to about £2000 a year she died in very reduced circumstances at Calais in the year of Waterloo. Her daughter, and in all probability Nelson’s, was married on the 24th February 1822 at Burnham, Norfolk, to the Rev. Phillip Ward, M.A. She is described as both witty and fascinating, and her portrait by Sir William Charles Ross makes one believe that she was so. More than a century has passed since the great battle was fought “in Trafalgar’s Bay,” but the memory of the little, one-eyed, one-armed man is still treasured by those who believe, as he believed, that the strength of Great Britain rests upon her command of the sea. _For he is England’s admiral, Till setting of her sun._ Index of Proper Names Aboukir Bay, 102, 103 Acre, Siege of, 146 Acton, Sir John, 55, 119, 137, 141, 149, 216 Adair, Captain, 242 _Achille_, the, 244 Addington, 176, 180, 192, 196, 201, 204, 212 _Aigle_, the, 203, 204, 209 _Admiral Barrington_, the, 40 Africa, 46, 145 _Agamemnon_, the, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 169, 172 Ajaccio, 98, 201, 216 _Ajax_, the, 228, 237 Alava, Vice-Admiral, 238 _Albemarle_, the, 36, 37, 38 Albert, Prince, 120, 121 _Alcmene_, the, 118 Alexandria, 100, 101, 103, 110 _Alexander_, the, 98, 106, 121, 130, 149, 153 Alexander I., 180 _Algéçiras_, the, 243 Algeziras, 194 Allemand, 226 Alessandria, 145 Ancona, 156, 157 Ancona, Siege of, 158 Andrews, Miss, 43, 58 Andrews, Lieutenant George, 58 Antigua, 44, 47, 48, 222 Antipodes, the, 201, 220 _Amazon_, the, 173, 187 America, 41, 46, 47 Amiens, Truce of, 196, 209 _Amphion_, the, 198 _Archimedes_, the, 120 Arezzo, 157 Asia, 46 _Audacious_, the, 107 Augereau, 183 Austria, 107, 116, 144 _Badger_, the, 32 _Bahama_, the, 243, 247 Baird, Dr, 192, 200, 211 Ball, Captain Alexander, 98, 106, 116, 121, 128, 133, 181, 197, 201 Barbadoes, 45, 221, 222, 223 Barcelona, 202, 203 _Barfleur_, the, 44, 77, 81, 82 Barras, 146 Barrington, 32 Bastia, 59, 60, 61, 62, 71 Batavia, 198 Batavia, Army of, 183 Bath, 35, 43, 50, 86, 94 Baudoin, Captain Louis, 237 Bavaria, 145 Baynes, Lieutenant, 90 Bayntun, Captain, 221, 245 Beachy Head, 183 Beatty, Dr, 239, 240 _Bedford_, the, 67 _Belleisle_, the, 201, 244, 248 _Bellerophon_, the, 107 _Bellona_, the, 157, 172, 178 Belmonte, Prince, 156 Berry, Captain, 83, 84, 97, 102, 104, 105, 108, 109, 150, 151, 152, 156 Berthier, 115
