Book Description
The following is a biography of Admiral Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth. He was a British naval officer who fought during the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars. In 1770, he entered the Royal Navy on board HMS Juno with Captain John Stott, and made a voyage to the Falkland Islands. In 1772, he followed Stott to the Alarm, and in her was in the Mediterranean for three years. In consequence of a high-spirited quarrel with his captain, he was put on shore at Marseilles where he found an old friend of his father's in command of a merchant ship. He was able to get a passage to Lisbon and so home.
