The question given at Hornblower's Lieutenant examination, that of what to do in response to a "full a-back", relates to the sails of a ship suddenly flattening against the mast due to a change in wind. The correct answer (which Hornblower clearly does not know) is to put the helm over, haul up the mainstay and spanker sails, and then shift the helm in the opposite direction in order to fill the after-sails with wind in order to regain headway. Once the wind has been recovered, the ship should then brace up the sails and bring the ship's course directly in front of the wind. The maneuver to regain wind after a fall a-back is known as "chapelling", or "Chapel Ship", and would have been something which Hornblower absolutely should have known.
The very first question asked at the Lieutenant's examination - to define a "Rhumb Line", relates to a course on the Earth's surface cutting all meridians at the same angle, used as the standard method of plotting a ship's course on a chart. In contrast to the confused looks of Hornblower and the others present, this is actually a basic question of navigation which any of the Midshipman at the examination should have known.
"Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: Where's Mr. Tapling? Matthews: He refuses to rise from his bunk, sir. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: Does he indeed? [Below decks] Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: Good morrow, Mr. Tapling! When shall you grace us with your presence above decks? Tapling: Never. There is no point. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: The Moors have come to fetch their gold. Tapling: The Moors? Don't let them aboard, set sail at once. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: The gold is theirs by right. Tapling: I will not see them, send one of the men. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: I need my men, Mr. Tapling! Tapling: I have pains in my body, I cannot move. The hand of Death is upon me. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: In that case, you shall have no need for rations. [Takes away his food] Tapling: You would withold rations from a dying man? Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: I would consider it my duty to help speed your release from this world, sir. Tapling: [gets up] The Admiral will hear of this!"
"[Captain Hammond's longboat finally rescues Hornblower and Foster who is very annoyed at how long it took] Capt. Hammond: Thank God sir. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: Yes but no thanks to you sir! Capt. Hammond: We followed as fast as we could get these rock scorpions to row. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: Mr. Hornblower come aboard sir. Capt. Hammond: Mr. Hornblower sir. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: You will trust me following us to pick us up sir. I thought I could at least rely on a brother captain! Capt. Hammond: What are you implying sir? Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: I make no implications sir but others may read implications into a simple statement of fact! Capt. Hammond: I consider that an offensive remark sir. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: I congratulate you or your perspicacity sir! Capt. Hammond: Would you care to withdraw your statement with an apology! Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: I would NOT! Capt. Hammond: [pause then quietly and slowly] Very well we will continue this further when we reach shore. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: We will sir when I will expect an apology from you! Capt. Hammond: [shouts] BY GOD SIR I will not stand for this! I will have recompense in a duel at first light! Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: I will look forward to that with pleasure sir! Capt. Hammond: I will send a friend to wait on you! Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: He will be most welcome! [everyone catches their breath, Hornblower is stunned] Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: [to Hornblower] What are you staring at man? Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: Nothing sir. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: [pause] My life is in your, debt, Mr. Hornblower. Acting Lt. Horatio Hornblower: Not for long it would seem sir. Captain 'Dreadnought' Foster: Huh? [then realises what Hornblower means]"
