Sailor Curtis rises through peril to command Retribution
The narrative traces Curtis in convoy duty and later aboard Sir John Laforey and Rear Admiral Christian fleets during the Leeward Islands operations. He aids in the sieges of Sainte Lucie St. Vincent and Grenada, earns special dispatch mention for Abercrombie, and is promoted to post rank to command the 86 gun frigate Retribution after the Grenada action. He sends a hand drawn sketch of his ship to a boy as a memento, then hears of his return home in a letter arrival.
