General Order, "Euryalus", to Rear Admiral the Earl of Northesk, 1805 October 22 : manuscript signed.

Being an expression of gratitude following the Battle of Trafalgar; thanking the officers and sailors of the British Navy who were serving at sea on October 21 and celebrating the life of Admiral Nelson; saying "The ever to be lamented death of Vice Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, Duke of Bronte, the Commander in Chief, who fell in the Action of the 21st in the Arms of Victory, covered with Glory, whose memory will be ever dear to the British Navy and the British Nation whose zeal for the honour of his King, and the Interests of his Country will be ever held up as a Shining example for a British Seaman - leaves to me a duty to return my thanks to the Right Honourable the Rear Admiral, the Captains, Officers, Seamen and detachments of Royal Marines - serving on Board his Majesty's Squadron now under my command for their conduct on that day - but where shall I find Language to express my Sentiments of the Valour and Skill displayed by every Officer, every Seamen and Marine in the Battle with the Enemy, where every individual appeared an Hero, on whom the Glory of his country depended - the Attack was irresistible and the force of it, adds to the page of Naval Annals a brilliant instance of what Britons can do, when their King and Country needs their Service...I beg to give my Sincere and hearty thanks for their highly meritorious conduct both in the Action, and in their zeal and Activity in bringing the Captured Ships out from their perilous situation in which they were after their surrender among the shoals of Trafalgar in boisterous Weather."
