How a great admiral, with a great fleet, went a great way, was lost a great while, saw a great sight & then came home for a little water (BM 1868,0808.6317), Howe (right), astride a dolphin, holds the end of a large Union flag which serves as a sail. He drives before blasts issuing from two pairs of bellows (the nearer inscribed 'Marats Lungs') worked by Frenchmen standing in the stern of French men-of-war, belonging to a fleet in full sail outside Brest, a fortress on the extreme left. His coat-tails blow about his head. He and his fleet (sailing off to the right) are enveloped in a dark cloud of smoke issuing from a cauldron inscribed 'Republican Oil', which two demons are stirring and which rests on the back of a sea-monster with webbed wings or fins. This cloud is inscribed (left): 'Citizen Pluto's Plan for raising a fog, Wind, or Hurricane at Pleasure, to annoy the Ennemy. Decreed.' And (right): 'When our Admiral wants to Show fight he is always lost in a Fog.' Howe says: "Oh Lord, when I get to Torbay How folks will gape and Stare, Are you come back? The Lord knows How. And been? the Lord Knows where!!!" In the water beside him is a paper: '300£ Reward Lost in a Fog.' In the foreground (right) is a rock inscribed 'Torbay'.  10 December 1793.

艦隊の大艦隊が大破し、大失態に陥ると、大きな光景を見て、少し水を求めて帰ってきた。ブラストを運転して2組の鐘から突き出す。彼の上着の尾が頭をたたいている。彼と彼の艦隊は、2人の悪魔がしている「共和国石油」の銘が書かれた大釜から発する黒い煙に包まれており、それはウェディングウィングやひれのある海の怪物の背面にかかっている。この雲は、 の「市民冥王星が霧、風、またはハリケーンをプレジャーで引き上げることを計画した」という記述が刻まれている。「辞令。」」とあり、また「大将が戦を披露したいときは、必ず霧の中で負けてしまう」と書かれている。ハウは「ああ、私がトーベイに着くと、フォークはどこまでも空腹になり、スターは戻ってくるのか?」と述べる。主はいかにして知るか。あれ?主はどこを知っている!!!」傍らにある水には「300ポンドの泥沼」という論文がある。前景には「トルベイ」と刻まれた岩がある。1793年12月10日。手彩色エッチング
