@AngelBiLove Hammond was more playing the devil's advocate that actually wanting Hornblower hung. His son had good intentions, but was forced into the navy by his family when he obviously isn't suited for it; he made a stupid mistake, but is still a redeemable character.
Mathews knows some of this is his fault. He backed the boy's lie. But he's done. The kid is demanding respect his doesn't deserve. He deserved the opposite and Mathews lets him have it. Bully Mathews. There is such a thing as giving a person too many chances. Some will never take responsibility no matter how much you want them to mature and try to help them. You have to move onto others that will appreicate your efforts.

Hey the Brian Regan, hilarity shines big time in that funkified humour!.. glad you enjoyed it so, knew you would, fine lass that you is, lol! I think your fine Ioan is beyond the beyond in terms of fine-ness...no wonder you've been besotted since 14, lol! Hornblower out! jillyriddler
I was thinking the same thing! "time to weigh anchor, men"...as he picks up two hooks and weights conveniently within reach and perfect for the plan of escape!!!
Yes. Each man on a gun crew was assigned a number according to his job. After loading a gun (cannon), it was the job of numbers 2 and 6 to heave the gun out of the gunport before firing. This terminology leaked into other jobs aboard ship, and thence into general use even by civilians.
Matthew says that Hornblower had given many a man a chance to prove himself but no one let him down till now...meaning Hammonds nephew but that isnt totally true: Hobbes failed him in the Fire Ships.
i will have to go back and watch again, maybe i got the names mixed up but i was refering to the seaman in fireships who breaks into the storeroom and is flogged for it. hornblower gave him several chances to redem himself and the man still tried to run off and was shot by hornblower or shot/suicide. so he was another individual who reject hornblowers efforts as had hammonds nephew although in the end at least hammond nephew does come around
Yeah 2..6..heave is naval term, more for timing really, it's used when pulling on rope so that everyone pulls at the same time. The 2 and the 6 prepares for the pull then they pull on the word heave
1. The sailors on gun (cannon) crews were numbered - two and six had the ropes for hauling the gun back into position after it had run back on firing.
2. In the days of cannon, the second and sixth member of the guncrew were responsible for heavy pulling. When the cannon was pulled in for reloading or pushed out for firing, the cry would be "2-6 Heave". It is still widely used onboard ships to this day.
3. Two possible explanations for the term "two six, heave": It could be a corruption of the French 'tout sis' (all situated), or it could relate to the practice of numbering members of gun crews in Nelson's time - two and six presumably having the task of hauling the gun into position.
This is just an instruction to haul on the rope called to keep the men pulling together. The sail training association still uses this shout. The origin of "2" and "6" comes from the gun crews of the sailing navy. In order to safely re-load and fire a muzzel loaded cannon it is nessercary to perform a complicated sequance of tasks in a specific order. Like pit crews in formula1 every man had a specific task to perform (sponge out, add powder charge, load shot, ram home ect).
...Given the noise and confusion of a gun deck it was neccercary to keep the orders simple and easy to distinguish. numbering rather than naming the crew helped do this (and made it easier to co-ordinate a trained but unfamiler team). 2 and 6 were the big strong men who had to pull the gun up to the gun port just before fireing. "2-6 heave" then just became a general comand to pull on what ever rope you were holding.
rather nice of the French to leave that pulley system within Hornblower's reach...

@funnyasfuc Two Six refers to the numbers of the gun crew. Numbers Two and Six were responsible for running out the gun.
The phrase he used derived from that.

Here are some differing explanations...
1. The sailors on gun (cannon) crews were numbered - two and six had the ropes for hauling the gun back into position after it had run back on firing.
2. In the days of cannon, the second and sixth member of the guncrew were responsible for heavy pulling. When the cannon was pulled in for reloading or pushed out for firing, the cry would be "2-6 Heave". It is still widely used onboard ships to this day.
