Royal Navy -- History -- Fiction.   Ship captains -- Fiction.   Warships -- Fiction.   Caribbean Area -- History -- 19th century -- Fiction.   Great Britain -- History, Naval -- 19th century -- Fiction. Series Forester, C. S. (Cecil Scott), 1899-1966. Horatio Hornblower series ; 6. ISBN:  9780316289320 (trade pbk.) Alternate title:  The happy return Happy return Description:  273 p. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Originally published 1937. Summary:  June 1808, somewhere west of Nicaragua - a site suitable for spectacular sea battles. The Admiralty has ordered Captain Horatio Hornblower, now in command of the thirty-six-gun HMS "Lydia", to form an alliance against the Spanish colonial government with an insane Spanish landowner; to find a water route across the Central American isthmus; and "to take, sink, burn or destroy" the fifty-gun Spanish ship of the line "Natividad" or face court-martial. A daunting enough set of orders -- even if the happily married captain were not woefully distracted by the passenger he is obliged to take on in Panama: Lady Barbara Wellesley. Genre:  Sea stories. Historical fiction.
