New Pellew Story

[artyartie]

This is from A Social History of the Navy by Michael Lewis, and is for all you fellow Pellew fans. I swear, he just has the best stories ever. :)

Jeremiah Coghlan was a Merchant Service boy who showed extraordinary courage, rescuing fifty men from an East Indiaman. Hearing about the boy's story, Sir Edward Pellew offered him a berth in the Indefatiguable as a Midshipman. Coghlan thrived under Pellew's care, making Lieutenant and eventually Post Captain before his death.

I just wanted to tell you that I watched some more Horatio this weekend - "Mutiny" and "Retribution" - and it was adorable how fond of Horatio Pellew is. Awwww.

Also, I developed a teensy crush on Lt. Bush. But Matthews is still my favorite.

Another Hornblower fan! Oh, and it's hard not to develop a crush on Lt. Bush - I've had a crush on Paul McGann since he was the Eighth Doctor. But Matthews and Styles really grow on you - around this series I really started liking them more.

And ProudPapa!Pellew is awesome, and I really like learning more about him - and sharing it with everyone else!
