Trafalgar. It is a small cache, with room for small swapables,
travel bugs and coins. Contains a pencil.

Meet Richard
Sharpe,
a great British
hero.
It is 1805 and Ensign Richard Sharpe is on his way home
from India. The voyage should be a period of rest but his ship is
riven with treachery and threatened by a formidable French warship,
the Revenant, which is terrorizing British shipping in the Indian
Ocean. An old opponent of Sharpe's is abord his ship, and the
voyage is further disturbed by the Lady Grace Hale, apparently as
unreachable as she is beautiful.
Sharpe also has friends, notably a captain of the Royal Navy who is
hunting the Revenant and who rescues Sharpe when all seems lost.
The hunt turns into a stern chase as the French warship races home,
carrying a treaty that could ignite India into a new war against
the British. When the Revenant encounters the combined French and
Spanish fleets off Cadiz it seems that Sharpe's enemies have found
safety, even as his enemies on board appear to have him
trapped.
Yet over the horizon is another fleet, led by Nelson, and Sharpe's
revenge will come in a savage climax when the two armadas meet on a
calm October day off Cape Trafalgar.
congratulations to Sprogkeepers, for an impressively quick FTF!
Well done!
