Crown Prince to introduce him to young Welmoes. Having embraced the lad he turned to the Prince and remarked that such a hero should be made an admiral. "My lord," was the answer, “if I were to make all my brave officers admirals, I should have no captains or lieutenants in my service." Three days after the conclusion of the armistice on the 12th of April, Sir Hyde Parker sailed from Copenhagen. Nelson remained on the Baltic watching the Russian fleet, till the 13th June, when he returned to England and was created a viscount for his services at the Battle of Copenhagen. II With Abercromby in Egypt I By COLONEL W. W. KNOLLYS N 1800 the French were firmly established in pating designs on India, determined to send an expedition to the land of the Pharaohs. At the same time a force from India was to coöperate. The principal blow was, however, to be dealt by an army under Sir Ralph Abercromby, who had been sent to the Mediterranean in 1800, and had proceeded, after an unsuccessful attempt to effect a landing at Cadiz, to Minorca with the intention of landing in Italy a project which had been baffled by Napoleon's victory at Marengo. The object of the invasion, as has been said, was to arrest the apprehended danger of French designs on India, and it was arranged that the Indian contingent should cooperate from the south. His army may be said to have been organized at Malta, whence it sailed on the 20th and 21st December, 1800, for Marmorice, in Anatolia, on the coast of Asia Minor.

According to another account, the schoolfellow was converted into an adversary slain in a duel. Be that as it may, Campbell fled the country for fear of the law, and had about 1760 joined the Turkish army, in which he had risen to the position of general of artillery. During the stay in Marmorice the troops were practised in embarking and disembarking. Only a few horses having been obtained, and there being little hope of immediate effective cooperation on the part of the Turks, the expedition sailed for its destination in February, 1801. The total British strength was estimated at 12,000 efficient fighting men. The French numbered, according to Alison, 26,520, distributed at different points — chiefly Alexandria and Cairo.
