The Royal Navy, however, had bad warships, the 120 guns of the Indubitable were 115 muskets and five nine pounders, not even powerful enough to get through a Ship-of-the-Line's sides.

Napoleon had been beating the the English everywhere and had complete control of the sea and the European continent. Soon he (Napoleon) would launch a massive invasion of England, but first he sent in 25 Ships-of-the-Line to destroy the only two ships left in the North Sea, a mail runner, the Terrified, and Fredrick's brigantine, the Indubitable. The French ships and crews were the best in the world, as a result Fredrick, fearing greatly for his life, fled to the South Shetland Islands, near Antarctica.

About a year later Fredrick heard word of an English victory against the French, King George was now the master of Europe by some miraculous turn of events. Fredrick immediately returned to England only to be arrested as a traitor and sent to jail in Xai-Xai, an English colony in Mozabique.

Bit of a lengthy passage there, with five or six sentences. ;) Anyway...

Once at the gaol, Fredrick quickly proved to be a cut above the other prisoners, and was gradually given more responsibility, until he practically ran the place. Under his direction, a prisoner work force completed the wall around the city, protecting the inhabitants from the enemies and native wildlife outside; as a result of this, Fredrick was specially commended by the governor of the colony.

Revive.

Unfortunately, said commendation was actually a recommendation to be transferred to a Gulag, where he would never have contact with another human, or be let out of his cell, ever again.

The request was confirmed within minutes.
