Note 43 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
This letter Captain Hoste afterwards forwarded, under a flag of truce, to the captain of the Flore, to which an answer was written by the captain of the Danaë, stating the inability of M. Péridier to reply on account of his wound, and denying that the Flore had struck; but the Danaë’s captain, as if ashamed of his name, sent his letter without a signature.
