indomitable Man of the Sea Ratio Hornblowerleaning brazenly into a Russian port had been

a gamble get my orders from theAdmiralty had stated two objectives, impressed the
Russians and the Swedes with Britain's navalstrength and ingenuity, and at the same
time bring them into the war onour side if you can, orders which
might, of course prove somewhat contradictoryon occasion. So once we had entered
Constant Harbor, the Tzar himself hadcome aboard incognito, even though he hadn't
(02:20):
once admitted his identity. I'd hopedhe'd been impressed as a fine show we'd
staged for him. My old comrade, Captain Bush was still puzzling about all
this the next morning on our quarterdeck. Sir, was it actually the
Tzar himself? Are you quite sure? Why? Yes, of course I'm
sure. But all I talk aboutthe can't do North lead the soul for
the visitor as a millionaire uses whenhe's traveling, Old Bush Bush, What

an old skeptic you've become, Isay, look, shreward Bush, that
that smart little lucker with the insignia. Perhaps our answers on the way,
mister hur they are bearing orders fromthis all. Let me know when the
moment he's alongside, and for hers, if she carries a messenger, make
him welcome your cross. He wasinterested to the Oh was there the starboard
royal? He's just come from therow. Oh saga, you mean he's
(03:07):
a peculiar fellow there? Did youknow? He was a thin and called
himself a man without her country?Now because of what the Russians said to
sin Wan, do you like him? What do you mean? Oh you
don't. Well, sir, there'sa bit shift him. You're right.
It amuses me, the admiraltive postinghim to help me win the Russians over.
Oh well, well, at leasthe seeks all these weird portic tongues.
(03:30):
Ever, first, like going alongsideher? Is our officer aboard bringing
you this letter? Sir? Youwait your armswer? Thank you give him
a drink of rum or something?What did I tell you Bush, look
at that coat of arms with yourimperial palace of Peters. Oh that's in
sense. I am bidden to dinewith with his Imperial Majestine and his Royal
(03:53):
Highness to the Prince of Sweden thisafternoon at four o'clock. Oh, accompanied
by my staff. The officer whoconveys this letter will serve as a guide.
(04:15):
Ah, mister Mann, Oh tellme, would you would you care
to dine with a tzar this afternoon? What his Imperial Majesty, the bizarre
of all the Russia's man at PeterHooff his palace on the Iranian bomb shore
over there at four o'clock. Sonaturally I die. But I'm on the
litt I think you need a littlechange. You'll still look a bit seating.
(04:36):
It's preposterous. Audiential document mentions thestaff, Well, we must create
one, since Captain Bush will stayhere with the squadron. Who do you
say that beside yourself? Well,I get them and excited. You will
need missus saga expect the Clarks.Why don't he posted as your interpreter?
Yes she was just why they settledme with that glum fellow. Oh yes,
(05:01):
yes, we must have them along, of course, and then Hurst
must go as first lieutenants protocol.And one midshipman, which one man summers
is the brightest, that one well, very good some as it is,
well, please pass the word throughas you return to change your clothes,
address uniforms. Of course we must. We must be off in oh half
an hour. I shall be readyto thank you. Peter. Half palace
(05:43):
definitely was not near the water.We docked amid saluting vanadeers in monstrous bearskins,
and then were ushered into carriages,in which we drove for what seemed
miles and miles, past parks andterrace lawns and marble fountains. I couldn't
help thinking how much my dear wife, Barb I would enjoy all this.
But in return there were sentries ongod stiffly presenting arms as we whirled by.
(06:05):
Ah. There now at last thePeter Hoff just round the next curve,
you see, which would casual remarkabout assassination. That turned my thoughts
uneasily back to Swoger and that pistol. I remember the man's brooding hatred of
Russia, his bitter sense of oppression, and suddenly great heavens, Why hadn't
occurred to me before? Could be? Could he timber? Here? I
(06:29):
grew cold as we drew up beforethe palace and were met by swarms of
liveried footmen. I contrived to havea word alone with Mound, who,
with Saga and the others, hadoccupied another carriage for my company. I
felt Mound was the most reliable.So you'll see what I mean. Name
man, my doocies. Of course, quite shocking. Member of my own
(06:51):
ship's company, my own clerk.So it's been conceivable in it. Oh
well, perhaps I'm imagining the wholething. I helped this well, help
me keep an eye on him.It looks as if there'll be a crush
of people. How a child here? He comes down? Who's this with
him? With all the gold laces? Please you have the kindness to accompanding
means on lawyer. I trust thatI see you in good health, sir
(07:15):
Comodo, holdad, thank you.I'm in the birth of healthy Rectionsip and
your squadron, which I had thetreasure of visiting but yesterday in company with
the own you know, nice squadronsin the best of health. Two rectionsives
yesterday aboard your sexship. We discussedthis very briefly. This man Buonaparte his
policies, Yes, it was.I believe your opinion that his troops might
constitute a real set to Russia.Might, Sir, I fear it's less
(07:39):
conditional than that Bonaparte overran Swedish Pomeraniathe other day, the fifty thousand troops
in the moment you got news ofour appearance in the Baltic Yes, Prince
Benadotta siden is here even now thisevening. You'll be concerning with his imperial
majesty. Yes, I had heardso. Now, Sir Bonaparte now controls
the entire Baltic coast, right tothe Russian frontiers, would be most convenient
(08:01):
to him in one particular event,in the event of his deciding to attack
you. Hmmmps, you're right.And yet you know we've had a treaty
with help Bonapart. Prospection of treatyis, excellency. And now he's tecond
Bommera. And here there's no basefor an attack on his rear. He
can march an army against in Petersburgwith no fear of it being cut off
anywhere. Perhaps perhaps there are somany considerations pro and coom for his promises
(08:26):
to be a very difficult This isthen, what your Excellency is saying to
me. Come on, I amreally advising Ptitians, since there is no
decision yet by those responsible for higherpolicies. I did not wish you to
draw prettymature conclusion, nor to beover hasty communicating with your government. That
was why I asked Toeochinically, wemust not seek to hasten the slow steps
(08:48):
of history. And now, ifI can think you longer, you'll delayed
for the imperial reception that our lovelyladies waiting to meet you. Ah,
they will soon raise that troubles roundof your times that in a countess your
(09:31):
dinner partner. It's ranged most charmingladies. The Countess, can you the
Countess, may I present Commodore theBorracio on law of his Titannic Majesty's Royal
Navy. It is the greatest ofpleasures, lats and the distinguished stranger Commodore,
you will take precedence immediately after theversion above door His Excellency in cords
the count And now, if you'dexcuse me, there are other guests I
(09:54):
have to welcome my dist so closely, my friend, and you will see
the print of treason, and withhis Imperial majesty a star. Then suddenly
I did see Saga. He stoodquite unobtrusively at one end of the gallery,
the side a pillar. But therewas something in his attitude, fierce
(10:18):
in the intensity, that prosed myblood. Alexander had conquered Finland, Prince
Bernardotte had condoned the acting. Therestood Soga, hating both of them.
I turned abruptly from the Countess andfound the gallery stairs. I had to
push my way through a dense crowd. Where was mild I might need helper,
(10:39):
Oh there, well, nothing's goingto listen. I keep you in
pretty steadily. Don't be a foolman. Look at him now, don't
follow me hurry. I felt anagony of suspense. Now it was almost
impossible to move through the packed onlookers, all standing there, gating at the
celebrities below. Oh, pardon,I'm sorry, a man, your pardon,
(11:01):
said honey hair stood Saga by hispillar, so absorbed he didn't even
notice our approach. His hand wentto his waistband beneath his coat. He
was drawing my pistol. Shall Ishoot? So don't can't cause it emotion.
There's just one way, one silentway. My sword stand back.
I put my sword out of itscabital, and I couldn't afford to miss
(11:24):
my mark. At the first stroke, flashed quickly at the wrist that held
the pistol. With tendon severed,The man's fingers opened nervelessly. The gun
fell heavily into the carpet, andSaga turned in open mouthed surprise, staring
first at the spurting blood, thenat me venomously. All right, Solga,
that does it? Make one moremove and you'll feel the blade somewhat
(11:45):
of observed. It's pointed to yourheart. Well, have anything to say,
is Aga, we'll commodore. Ihave nothing to say. Take the
pistol man, look after him,tie that wrist up, get him out.
Somehow nobody's noticed yet. They're allmuch too absorbed in their precious royalty
down there, and find some housewe can stow him somewhere. Good lad,
good lad, Sorry, but I'vegot to get back down below.
Actually untroubled emissary from old England.Then wiser I'll see he goes. There's
(12:09):
no more trouble if you have tosit on his stick head all the afternoon.
Ah, welcome back to Comodore.I have extremely sorry, I can't
I have no intention, so greathaste you show in leaving me, monsieur.
I couldn't help but think I hadoffended you. No, no,
(12:30):
no, no, no, no, nothing like that. You see him?
Well, no, never mind.I have forgiven you already, and
please do not look so austere.But here come the royal party. You
make the tour of the great company, speaking of word to much washing screen.
The grand Master will soon present youto his imperial magic. I've already
met. No, no, mymistake. I wonder if they can't you
(12:56):
know not to be here too thisafternoon? But can't you know? All
right? I do not know him, Your majesty, This is Commodore Sir
of issue horn Blow or Imperial Medicineis Royal Highness, difference of Sweden,
Imperial Majesty, Your Royal Highness.It is a triplech to meet Commodore Hornblower,
(13:18):
of whom I have had so much, indeed, we have all had
of his exploits. Oh, yourMajesty is much too kind. We appreciate
your time here with us to takecommodore truck. Me as odd everyone's standing
up to dine, But then oneshouldn't question others customs along tables literally groaned
(13:39):
with food of all descriptions. Thewhip was quite odd too, and so
I appeared a trifle misdivided, especiallywhen some gray, unappetizing looking stuff will
handed us by a footman. Sothe countries came to my rescue. That
is caveat try you will approve,I think. And then and what's this
in the glasses? It looks likewater? No, no, it is
(14:00):
not what you vood cacodor wood guardeddrink of the deep m that's very very
interesting. This other stuff, it'sthis caviar is It's truly delicious. You
know, it seems a bit unusualto a stranger to eat standing up,
but you know this is This isone of the dolliest parties I ever attended.
(14:24):
Candy, laughter, white lights,beautiful women music. Oh you know,
I'm feeling quite clear, might exhiliaryAnd that's innocuous looking transparent stuff.
What you go, it's vug cacdoor. Yes, everyone here seems to
toss it down in quantity, mostcasually. I must say I have been
(14:46):
sometime at sea. You know,it says a different kind of life.
And then all this sort of thing, well, you know, bits with
harsh compared with this, I'm sure. Well, I think I'll have some
more of that. That's salad andsome cheese. Extremely good, thank you,
oh, by all of them?How many courses can don't be concerned?
(15:13):
At least I've now discovered you likeRussian training. I shall gladly advise
you on which courses to neglect.You have a kind heart. But do
(15:35):
pictures interesting you very much? Picture? Yes, same thing, Oh yes,
the picture gallery of this talent isconsidered very fine. This evening after
dinner, I could show it toyou, I'm unless, of course,
you would prefer to join the cardplayer much prefer pictures that the royal party
(16:00):
has withdrawn. If you are bythe door on the paraside, I shall
show you the wing. That wouldbe delightful, madam. My husband,
the Count, used to be quiteinterested in pictures. I married him with
a near child, but after allhe is now quite elderly he has lost
interest in the minors. Phrase.Just as we rose and left the dining
(16:22):
hall, man slipped up to outsidethe doors. I thought you'd want to
know, sir. We had himin a side room up a lost good
good you I could trust you.Man, he fainted with a loss of
blood. He had you returningue halfof my shirt somemmonson Hurst are guarding him.
Anyone find out about it? Man, No, nobody saw as get
good. I past some litter onhis coat, and from the smell of
him, anyone will think he's drunk. We will smuggle him out somehow.
(16:47):
But as soon as we get himaway. Yes, you're right, well,
except that, no, I don'tthink we can hurry off at once
to hold a port. Man wereto stay here another hour, at least
careously, just as you say,here you are commodore. I've waited,
(17:10):
as you see, I said youhad a kind heart. Countess came here
in The Italian pictures of the Chincacendoare in the farthest gallery, but perhaps
you'd care to see the more modernones first. Their gallery isn't quite so
well lighty. Unfortunately, it's justcome to me that well, I must
(17:33):
return to my ship with the others. Yes, I'm afraid any times like
these said, there are so manyduties weighing heavily, and it is only
now that you remember them. Imust thank you so very much for your
great kindness to an awkward guest,and also your your friend lyness for me
today. The Russians are the mostdelightful people in the world. But but
(17:57):
I must be getting back about myship, my dearest Barbara. Dear,
(18:30):
I wanted us to return from arather extraordinary day at the Czar's course.
It would have been amused diving tosee me de tmine to uphold the dignity
of Britain amid all that gold,lace and pomp and circumstance amongst amazing people.
These Russians, highly ambiguous as toget intentions in this war, yet
going some lengths today to show mefrienderness and sympathy. Oh yes, yes,
(18:52):
there was a lot of attractive littletantries I forget an exact name,
over a time made ourselves especially amiablein showing curtesy to us strangers. None
of them here, however, canbegin to compare with our English women,
either in appearance or deportment. Justwhen we shall move out of constant harbor,
I'm not quite sure yet. Imissed yourself very much tonight, I
