The ship sailed again on the 2d of March for Yarmouth, where she arrived on the 6th.

The next day Nelson went to call on the commander-in-chief, who was living on shore, his flag flying on board a vessel in the roads.

"I remember," says Colonel Stewart, "that Lord Nelson regretted Sir Hyde being on shore.

We breakfasted that morning as usual, soon after six o'clock, for we were always up before daylight.

We went on shore, so as to be at Sir Hyde's door at eight o'clock, Lord Nelson choosing to be amusingly exact to that hour, which he considered as a very late one for business." At this, his first official visit, the commander-in-chief, it is said, scarcely noticed him, and Nelson, as will be seen, complained freely of the treatment he at the beginning received.
