'Down the streets of Ponsmouth, more than a hundred years ago, walked a sailor with one arm, one eye, a persistent state of nerves and unable to tread a ship's deck without being seasick. Indeed he would probably have been in a home for incurables, were not his name Admiral Lord Nelson. The man's spirit drove the flesh. '
