Crossword-Solution: POMONE 6 letters, 2 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 10

General Bonaparte, finally yielding to the wishes of his wife, promised to send 'La Pomone' for her, and bade her go in the meantime to take the waters at Plombieres.

There is truth in the saying that in all evil there is good, for had this accident not happened to Madame Bonaparte, it is very probable she would have become a prisoner of the English; in fact, she learned that 'La Pomone', the vessel on which she wished to make the voyage, had fallen into the power of the enemies of France.

Hayes.] the _Pomone_ caught up with the _President_, and luffing to port gave her the starboard broadside [Footnote: Log of the _Pomone_.]; the _Tenedos_ being two cables' length's distance astern, taking up a raking position.

The point at issue is simply this: could a frigate which, according to James himself, went out of action with every sail set, take another frigate which for two hours, according to the log of the _Pomone_, lay motionless and unmanageable on the waters, without a sail? To prove that it could not, of course needs some not over-scrupulous manipulation of the facts.

There was, of course, not much chance of success in doing battle with two fresh frigates; but then they only mounted eighteen-pounders, and, judging from the slight results of the cannonading from the _Endymion_ and the two first (usually the most fatal) broadsides of the _Pomone_, it would have been rather a long time before they would have caused much damage.
