ex-
A naval incident illustrates the extraordinary sense of sanc tity which at that time invested the flag.
In 1811 a French frigate, the Renomme, surrendered after an action with a British squadron off Madagascar,
It was Inte, and the British ships were in no state to put an effective prize crew on bourd that evening. So a mere "token crew" of a lieutenant and a few seamen boarded the Renomme.
The French frigato had a complement of 100, and could easily, during the night, have overpowered the meagre garri- son and escaped in the darkness. The crew actually wished to do so, but 'the French commander refused. He had struck his flag, and that was binding.
In defeat, as in victory, the flag was an inviolable emblem of national honour.
