Lesson Topic
"Master and Commander," the novel
Lesson Outline
We plunged into Chapter One of "Master and Commander" in which Captain Aubrey meets Dr. Maturin and is ordered to command HMS Sophie, a sloop of war. Hunter and I took turns with the reading. We had several breaks during which I explained the arcane naval terminology (e.g., "Broadside," how a Lieutenant, R.N. can be a Captain, et.al.) as well as archaic English from the early 1800's.

Lesson Comments
Hunter seems to be following the story well. I'm hopeful that, as he becomes accustomed to the terminology, that our progress will be faster.
