Action in Admiral Rodney's dramatic Moonlight Battle of 1780, when CYCLOPS' capture of the SANTA TERESA plays a decisive part, is the start of Nathaniel Drinkwater's life at sea. HMS CYCLOPS is involved in pursuing American privateers who are a danger to British trade and Drinkwater finds himself part of a prize crew when initiative and courage in a critical situation enable him to survive a dangerous encounter.
