The story
In April 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars, the British frigate HMS Surprise is ambushed by the French privateer Acheron off Brazil, suffering heavy damage.
Shortly afterwards, Surprise is again ambushed by Acheron, but escapes using a decoy raft.
A sailor deliberately bumps into the unpopular midshipman Hollom, whom the crew believe to be a "Jonah", and is flogged; Hollom subsequently commits suicide by jumping overboard.
