G. A. Henty 
With Cochrane The Dauntless: In South American Waters 

In the annals of British sailors there is no name that should stand

higher than that of Lord Cochrane. In some respects he resembled

that daring leader and great military genius, the Earl of

Peterborough. Both performed feats that most men would have

regarded as impossible, both possessed extraordinary personal

bravery and exceptional genius for war, and a love for adventure.
