ANTIGONE AT THE END OF THE WORLD
I liked to stand upon the deck before a battle. That wasn’t technically disallowed, but often captains tended to disapprove of it; HMS Antigone usually at full speed hit around sixty knots, and she was a new, powerful, untrustworthy sort of strider, thirty metres high and without much space on her foredeck, and it wouldn’t really have done for her pilot to get knocked overboard, would it?
