	Edward Hawke
		Edward Hawke entered the navy on the 20th of February 1720 and served the time required to qualify him to hold a lieutenant's commission on the North American and West Indian stations.
		Hawke had married a lady of fortune in Yorkshire, Catherine Brook, in 1737, and was able to meet the expenses entailed by a seat in parliament, which were considerable at a time when votes were openly paid for by money down.
		Hawke, however, pursued without hesitation, though it was well on in the afternoon before he caught up the rear of the French fleet, and dark by the time the two fleets were in the bay.

		Edward Lord Hawke against a Lady named Elizabeth Augusta Corri, who was described as falsely styling herself his wife, and therefore unjustly assuming the title of Lady Hawke.
		Lord Hawke himself did not assert any material fact as of marriage; but he asserted this--that she was a married woman, and her husband was still living at the commencement of their cohabitation together.
		It seemed to have been an expectation on the part of Lord Hawke, and to have been rather instigated than advanced, that that permission was given her upon an understanding that it was to last during the term only of their cohabitation.

		Hawke, indeed, was at the time of the American Revolution too old to go to sea, but he did not die until October 16, 1781, three days before the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, which is commonly accepted as the closing incident of our struggle for independence.
		Hawke was closely connected by blood with the Maryland family of Bladen; that having been his mother's maiden name,[Pg viii] and Governor Bladen of the then colony being his first cousin.
		It is a trivial coincidence, though it may be noted in passing, that as it was the second astern of the commander-in-chief on whom fell the weight of the disgrace, so it was the second astern of the commander of the van who alone scored a distinct success, and achieved substantial gain of professional reputation.
