------------------+-------------------------------------- Horatio Nelson.
It appears, from these lists, that sixteen officers, one hundred andfifty-six seamen, and forty-six marines, making in all two hundred andeighteen persons, lost their lives; and that thirty-seven officers, five hundred and sixty-two seamen, and seventy-eight marines, amountingto six hundred and seventy-seven persons, were wounded: forming a total, in killed and wounded, on board the British fleet, if the admiral beinclude...d, who has, as usual, omitted himself, of eight hundred andninety-six. Such was the dreadful price paid by the conquerors for thisglorious victory; to the vanquished, the loss was incalculable. On amoderate estimate, for the exact number has not been ascertained, therecould scarcely be less than three thousand French killed and wounded inthis most memorable conflict. Certain it is, that the Bay of Aboukir, for many days after the battle, was so covered with the floating bodiesof the slain, as to exhibit a most horrid and painful spectacle; and, though all possible endeavours were exerted to keep sinking themwhenever they appeared, the shot used for this intention so frequentlyslipped off, that many of the bodies perpetually rose again to thesurface.
