o do it, but I had no ship in a condition to support the
Zealous, and I was obliged to call her in.

"The support and assistance I received from Captain Berry
cannot be sufficiently expressed. I was wounded in the head,
and obliged to be carried off deck, but the service suffered no
loss by that event. Captain Berry was fully equal to the
service then going on, and to him I must beg to refer you for
every information relative to this victory.

"He will present you with the flag of the second in command.
That of the commander-in-chief being in the L'Orient.

"Herewith I transmit you lists of the killed and wounded, and
the lines of battle of ourselves and the French.

"I have the honour to be, &c.
"HORATIO NELSON."

"To Admiral the Earl of St. Vincent, Commander-in-chief, &c.
&c. &c. off Cadiz."

The Rear-admiral was created Baron Nelson of the Nile, and of Burnham
Thorpe, in the county of Norfolk. The thanks of both Houses of
Parliament were voted to him, the officers and crews, in the usual
manner. Gold medals were presented to each of the Captains. A pension
of 2000_l._ a year for life was settled on Nelson. The Irish
Parliament voted him 1000_l._; the East India Company 10,000_l._; the
city of London a sword, value two hundred guineas, and a sword to each
of the Captains; that to Sir E. Berry was accompanied by the freedom
of the city in a gold box. But Sir James Saumarez received no
distinguished honour, as has been usual, for being second in command,
although no one ever more highly deserved such a mark of approbation.
