Keppel's words to Mr O'Kelly in his note to him of the 22d I care not what mere publicity has been given to that part of the transaction but it is the printing and publishing of a private correspondence coupled with objectionable remarks for which I still demand redress.'

Sailing to join Jervis’s Mediterranean fleet within less than a year she would be involved in controversy.

On 20 February Berkeley declined to engage when he sighted her under tow. This decision was widely criticised and there were calls for Berkeley’s court-martial.
