It was the happiest day in the life of Hornblauer – he was appointed captain -lieutenant to “desperate” and then he was engaged to Maria. Under the noisy exclamations of the assembled, the bride cut the festive pie with her husband’s sword. Fun, laughter, joyful applause. How long is it all?
Erasing the Steel of Sugar icing, Hornblauer thought about the direct purpose of the blade. There was a time when Horatio washed human blood from him.
The fears were not in vain. The “desperate” is instructed to participate in the blockade of Brest. France has not yet declared the war of England, but since the artilleryman is at the head of the Republic of Frogs, powder smoke has become the main smell in Europe. Salty Oste is already conveying it through the La Cans.
