He took the lash well. Nice flogging, but that whip wouldn't have drawn blood anywhere near that early if at all. I know I've been under it.

@whipnotized Not that a flogging is ever nice but I see your point.

When you see the grating rigged upright and the order "all hands to witness punishment" is heard, someone is going to have a bad day

I thought Hornblower was opposed to flogging. At least he was in the books.
I like to see ugly brutes under the lash, it is also nice to see young fit lithe men under punishment, but in days gone by I dare say there were lots of ugly brutes in the navy, and they had to be kept in line with the threat of the lash.
