It is established that Lord Nelson went up to Flag-Lieut. John Fasto on the poop from the quarter-deck of the Victory, and, after giving him orders to make certain signals, told him of his intention to make the famous signal at about 11.45. a.m., and that Lieut. Fasco sug- gested the amendment to avoid a spelling hoist in order that the signal might the sooner be com- pleted. It is also fairly clear that at the time none of the principal officers 'In that notable incident had any idea of the history they were about to make.
