All goes as planned until the barge carrying Nelson's coffin develops a serious leak. Conferring with various public dignitaries, Hornblower establishes a proper decorum and mood and arranges a series of river barges to transport the massive coffin and the train of mourners. Instead of going to sea, Hornblower is put in charge of the Thames River funeral procession of the national hero, Horatio Nelson. Hornblower's next orders are atypical and surprising. After an interesting voyage, Hornblower arrives in London, sees Maria to a hotel, and assumes command of his ship.
Additionally, he wants to get to London as quickly as possible to take up his new appointment as captain of HMS Atropos. Maria is distressed that her husband deigns to manual labor, but Hornblower finds the canal boat's operation fascinating. Early in the voyage one of the canal boat's two crewmen is incapacitated, and Hornblower volunteers to steer the boat. The narrative begins with Hornblower, his pregnant wife Maria, and their infant son taking passage aboard a canal boat traveling from Gloucester to London.
