-An invasion, sir?
-Mr. Kennedy,four ships could hardly-
-constitute an invasion, sir.
-Then what is the point, sir?
The point, Mr. Bowles, is that we are
at war, sir;
and when at war, we react to an order
without hesitation.
I understand, Gentlemen, that this
plan may seem somewhat...
...cavalier.
However, it is the general's plan,
once landed,to raise an army
with which to march on Paris and
place King Louis on the throne
That would mean an end to
the war, sir.
I believe that is the intention,
Mr. Bracegirdle.
Sir, are we permitted to know
where the general's troops-
-will be landing?
-No, our destination will remain
secret-
until we set sail and then
there is no chance of word-
reaching the French until we arrive.
In the meantime, I want-
all dispatch in the loading of
the general's men and supplies-
as soon as they arrive.
Thank-you, Gentlemen.
Perhaps next week we could
be toasting the downfall-
of the French Republic, sir.
Yes, Mr. Hornblower.
That is the plan, at least.
Styles, let's get those bales loaded
as soon as possible
Frogs! What in the world
are they doing here?
Well, what do you make of
them, Horatio?
They seem a little disorderly.
The word, "shambles" might be
more appropriate.
Look out for the lobsters!
Battalions...halt!
Good morning, Gentlemen.
Major Edrington, 95th Foot.
I have been told someone here
can see to the embarkation-
-of my men onto the Indefatigable.
-Lieutenant Hornblower.
Acting Lieutenant Kennedy, sir.
-I will see to it myself.
-Excellent.
Your men look very fine, Major.
Almost too good for battle.
Really? I usually find that
the more able the officer,-
the better-turned out the men.
Battalions...
-At least in the army.
-...right face!
Charette! Charette!
Bloody Frogs!
-Any idea what the general's saying?
-He's saying today-
is a great day.
They are on a crusade-
Together we will fight, perhaps
to the death
But it will be for the greatest cause
in the world
Every one of us
Will be remembered by history as
men who were not afraid-
to lay down their lives
For France.
Yea! Vive le roi!
I suppose what the men lack
in discipline, they make up for-
-in enthusiasm.
-Major,
if you would like your personal
baggage transferred-
to the jollyboat, I'll see it reaches
the Indefatigable.
Very well. By the by, it might
be better-
if you were to address me as,
"My lord."
I am, in fact, the Earl of Edrington.
You see, Horatio, had you been rich
enough to buy a commission,
as well as a new uniform,
you could have joined the army
instead.
Please monsieur, I have, I think,
English sufficient-
