British naval action and Egyptian theater update
From Gibraltar and Egypt reports come grim details of naval raids and land operations. The Speedy and El Gamo clash, while the British army under Craig presses on Alexandria, Rosetta and Damietta, with 700 wounded men returning to duty and 4000 French defenders at Rammanie cut off. Captain Story confirms Russian politics and Baltic fleet movements as new emperor relaxes old regimens, and a field fort near Big Sandy Creek yields evidence of long habitation and ancient manufacture.
