Spring 1792 ... Captain Richard Bolitho is offered command
of three Royal Navy topsail cutters in the Nore, as clouds of
war rise once more over the Channel, in Alexander Kent's novel,
With All Despatch. Geoffrey Huband depicts Bolitho's two small
cutters, Telemachus (left) and Wakeful (right), engaging the
French corvette La Foi in the decisive battle at sea. Signed
