NAPOLEON IS FURIOUS. HE WANTS SEA POWER. Napoleon has sent a squadron of his best ships to seek revenge for his defeat off Cape Trafalgar. Corrie must sail at once to meet this new challenge. Where can she find a warship? Her brother is in trouble. Her father is missing. Time is fast running out. The fate of Royal Navy teeters in the balance...'When a very small child I used to pray every night that I might wake up in the morning and find myself a boy.' - Captain Flora Sandes'I cut off my hair and dressed me in a suit of my husband's having had the precaution to quilt the waistcoat to preserve my breasts from hurt which were not large enough to betray my sex and putting on the wig and hat I had prepared I went out and bought me a silver-hilted sword and some Holland shirts.' - Christian DaviesThe influence of the costume penetrates to the very soul of the wearer. - Oscar Wilde
