"The Gallant, Good Riou", and Jack Renton
Beschreibung des Verlags
This is a true story of one of Nelson's captains, he of whom Nelson wrote as "the gallant and good Riou" high meed of praise gloriously won at Copenhagen but Riou, eleven years before that day, performed a deed, now almost forgotten, which, for unselfish heroism, ranks among the brightest in our brilliant naval annals, and in the sea story of Australia in particular.
