_Paul Hoste_ (Vol. iv., p. 474.).--I would recommend your correspondent
ÆGROTUS to examine the new edition of P. Paul Hoste's _Treatise on Naval
Tactics, translated with Notes and Illustrations_, by Captain J.
Donaldson Boswall, a 4to. vol. published in 1834, when, I have no doubt,
he will there find the information he is in quest of.
