Summary: In the summer of the year 1812 at the beginning of the war between England and America, a Lieutenant S. Holmes of His Majesty's Royal Navy, banished to Upper Canada for insubordination, wrote a personal letter to his friend and companion Doctor St-J. H. Watson. He enclosed this letter in a package with several other objects intended to be sent to the Doctor via the next packet ship.

This parcel was never received by Doctor Watson, nor was its existence ever known of to scholars or historians.

Until now.

A nineteenth century fusion with Master and Commander, written as a slice of life, history and first meetings.

Notes:

Apologies in this section for huge amounts of footnotes - this part just had a lot of historical detail. Do read about the capture of the Cuyahoga - it is based on a real account of that action.
