Excerpt from The Naval Chronicle, for 1811, Vol. 26: Containing a General and Biographical History of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, With a Variety of Original Papers on Nautical Subjects; From July to December In June, Mr. Hoar went with Admiral Rowley's ag, as third lieutenant, into the Terrible; and, in July, he removed from the Terrible, into the Princess Royal, of 90 guns, at the island of St. Christopher. Having been at all the Leeward Islands, in the latter ship, he proceeded to Jamaica, where he had the pleasure of meeting his old friend and messmate, Nelson, who had just: turned from St. Juan in the Janus. Nelson at that time appeared to be so extremely ill, from his exertions in the fatal expedition on which he had been employed, that the hope of his long surviving was very faint.6 Fortunately for himself and for his country, his youthful constitution successfully resisted the ravages of disease. From July, 1780, till the loth of August, 1782, Lieutenant Hoar accompanied Admiral Rowley, as his az'de-de.camp, or own lieutenant. - On his arrival at Jamaica, the admiral shifted his ag from the Princess Royal, into the Ulysses, of 44 guns, commanded by Captain (afterwards Admiral) Thomas; next, it was hoisted on board the Nestor, of guns, Captain Silverius Moriarty; subsequently, it was shifted into the Ramilies, also commanded by Captain Moriarty and, lastly, it was hoisted on board the Lon. Don, of 98 guns, Captain Kempthorne. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
