NELSON’S MANOEUVRES
THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON, October 21. The Admiralty Committee has published plans and other evidence relating to Lord Nelson’s “touch” at the Battle of Trafalgar—how his 27 ships were manoeuvred so as to establish a marked superiority over the enemy’s 33 ships at the point of impact, piercing the lino at the centre, and overwhelming the enemy with gun lire before the van thus cut off could attack or wear. This manoeuvre ia attributed to Rodney in its first appreciation. The plans largely confirm Mr J. R- Thursfield’s articles on tha subject in “The Times” in 1905.
