In Chapter XIII Hornblower is embarrassed when Lady Barbara admires his hands, which he thinks are ugly.
In particular he is embarrassed by an ""ingrained powder stain"" on his left hand, dating to his leading the boarding party that captured the "Castilla".
Forester's second and third novels, "A Ship of the Line", and "Flying Colours" also refer to the sword he was awarded for his role in the capture of the "Castilla".
In the fifth novel, "Lord Hornblower", an older Hornblower reminds himself that he remains the brave officer who lead the boarding of the "Castilla".
Sternlicht notes that the eighth novel Forester wrote, "HMS "Atropos", set in 1805-1806, contains a completely different account of the capture of the "Castilla".
In that novel Hornblower is a junior Post-Captain, and the capture occurs off the coast of Turkey.
Robert Salisbury (educationalist)
Sir Robert Salisbury is an educationalist, and a "leading expert" on education funding.
He has an international reputation for his ideas on leadership styles and staff motivation.
He is most noted for transforming a failing secondary school in a pit village in Nottinghamshire into a "beacon of success" at the heart of its community, winning a number of awards and attracting a stream of famous visitors.
Until 2001, he was a Professor in the School of Education at Nottingham University.
Before that he was head teacher at The Garibaldi School in Forest Town, Mansfield, Notts.
When he was appointed head teacher there in 1989, the school had a poor reputation and unmotivated staff.
His five-year plan turned the school round, and by 1993 Salisbury had become recognised as a successful entrepreneur.
In 1998, Salisbury was knighted for his work in Education.
In 2011 he led an enquiry into numeracy and literacy at schools in Northern Ireland.
In 2013, he reviewed the funding of schools in Northern Ireland for the Northern Ireland department for education.
His review claimed that there was "a long rump of under-achievement in Northern Ireland", and that "Northern Ireland has too many small schools and too many types of school which can no longer be funded".
In or before 2015, he was asked to review further education colleges.
In 2019, he was criticised by the DUP MP Ian Paisley for "dismissing a significant number of high-achieving young adults in Northern Ireland", when he described some of the top schools in Northern Ireland as "Exam factories".
Robert Salisbury was born in Newton Drive Stapleford and moved to Warren Ave when aged eleven.
He and his wife Rosemary now live in County Tyrone, where they have spent 15 years converting 17 acres of barren fields into a wildlife refuge.
Abraham Munting
Abraham Munting (19 June 1626 Groningen - 31 January 1683 Groningen) was a Dutch botanist and botanical artist, the son of (1583-1658).
He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker, Utrecht and Leiden, also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D.
degree in Angers.
Returning to Groningen in 1651, he joined the staff at the Rijkshogeschool Groningen, which eventually became the University of Groningen.
Here he taught for 24 years as professor of botany and chemistry.
On his father's death he assumed management of the "Hortus Botanicus Groninganus", from 1658 to 1683.
His botanist friends sent him seeds from the Dutch East- and West Indies, Africa and the Americas.
His daughter, Hester, died after eating Deadly Nightshade from the Garden.
Munting subsequently developed a particular interest in the medicinal uses of plants.
Munting's best known work "Naauwkeurige Beschryving Der Aardgewassen" (1696), was published after his death and is an improved version of earlier editions of "Waare Oeffening der Planten".
The work enjoyed popularity, partly because of its departure from traditional botanical illustration, in that plant species were depicted against a background of classic or pastoral landscapes, often floating in midair with little regard for perspective and relative sizes.
Illustrated were trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses of temperate zones, with some tropical and subtropical plants that had been introduced to the Netherlands.
Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777) criticised some of the plates as being of suspicious authenticity.
In 1702 the work was translated into Latin by Franz Kiggelaer.
After his death in 1683 his son Albert Munting took over the running of the Garden.
The genus "Muntingia" (1753) was named by Linnaeus in honour of Munting.

Andalusian Unity
Andalusian Unity (, UA) was a political party launched in December 1980 by former minister Manuel Clavero as a split from the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) over disagreement with UCD's autonomic policy on the 1980 Andalusian autonomy initiative referendum.
The party was officially registered on 22 January 1981.
Clavero was the party's president, whereas Manuel Otero Luna was elected as secretary general.
An electoral coalition with the conservative People's Alliance (AP) was considered ahead of the 1982 Andalusian regional election, but in the end it was rejected and the party chose not to contest the election out of a lack of campaign funding.
It also unsuccessfully probed a coalition with Adolfo Suárez's Democratic and Social Centre (CDS) ahead of the 1982 Spanish general election.
In the end, the party was dissolved on 27 November 1982 over a lack of political and economical viability.

Brian Tonna
Brian Tonna is a Maltese businessmann and private accountant.
He is suspected of illegal money transfers and part of the political crises up from 2019 in Malta.
Brian Tonna ran "Brian Tonna & Co.", described by the project managing tool "timesheet express" as a "medium sized accounting and audit firm based in Malta with their primary objective of satisfying clients needs in a professional and cost effective manner."
The company was member of Nexia International, a worldwide network of independent auditors, business advisers and consultants.
"Brian Tonna’s clients can access international expertise in a broad range of accounting and tax specialists in countries around the world."
In May 2013 Tonna created a Maltese subsidiary of Mossack Fonseca, "Nexia BT".
Brian Tonna has known businessman and öater Muscat chef of staff Keith Schembri as a personal friend and client in 2019 for 20 years, according to a written declaration made by Tonna and seen by Reuters.
After Joseph Muscat won the Maltese election in 2013, Tonna, like Keith Schembri and others became inoffical part of his office team.
Die Zeit called him "a kind of chief accountant" in the system of legal and illegal business involment of politicians.
Tonna was officially hired as an adviser to Owen Bonnici, the than minister for justice in Malta.
The work was in addition to previously disclosed business contracts, worth more than 800.000 Euros, awarded by other government ministries to NexiaBT.
Brian Tonna held the consultancy full-time from August 2014 to August 2016, and part-time from then until August 31, 2017, contracts, obtained from a Freedom of Information request.
Reuters wrote, Tonnas pay of about 55.000 Euros annually plus expenses was almost as high as that of the prime minister of Malta.
Ten days after Muscats election in 2013 Tonna founded via Mossack Fonseca in Panama the "Willerby Trade Inc.." In July 2013 employees of Tonna created at least three letterbox firms in Panama: "Tillgate Inc." owned by prime minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri, Hearnville Inc. owned by Energy-minister Konrad Mizzi and "Egrant Inc.".
In April 2017 journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia wrote that shares in Egrant Inc. were held by Mossack Fonseca nominees for Michelle Muscat, the wife of Joseph Muscat.
In May 2017, Maltese authorities launched a judicial investigation into payments totalling 100,000 Euros made by Tonna to Schembri at a private bank.
The investigation was launched after Malta's anti-money laundering agency Financial Intelligence and Analysis Unit (FIAU), said in a report that the payments gave rise to "reasonable suspicion of money laundering."
Both Tonna and Schembri have denied any wrongdoing and said the 100,000 Euros were repayment of a personal loan.
In 2019 FIAU was still investigating the case.
In November 2017, PM Muscat came under political pressure from opposition, after details of "17 Black", an obscure company based in Dubai and owned by Yorgen Fenech got puplic.
That company, according to an email from Tonnas "NexiaBT", planned to pay up to 2 million Euros to the Panama-based companies "Tillgate Inc." and "Hearnville Inc." from Mizzi and Schembri.
