  Sir William Hoste - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR WILLIAM HOSTE (1780-1828), British naval captain, was the son of Dixon Hoste, rector of Godwick and Tittleshill in Norfolk.
The work was admirably done, and was also lucrative; and Hoste, although he occasionally complained that his exertions did not put much money in his pocket, made a fortune of at least 60,000 by the capture of Italian and Dalmatian merchant ships.
After the action, which attracted a great deal of attention, Hoste returned to England, but in 1812 he was back on his station, where he remained till the end of the war.

Capt Sir William Hoste was the son of Dixon Hoste, Rector of Tittleshall, 16 miles south of Burnham Thorpe.
In 1686 he entered the service of the ecclesiastical historian, the Rev. William Cave (1637-1713), whom he helped in his literary work; but considering that his assistance was not sufficiently appreciated he soon forsook this employment.
In 1689 he took the oath of allegiance to William and Mary, but he wrote a severe criticism of bishop Burnet's History of the Reformation, and it was partly owing to the bishop's hostility that he did not obtain further preferment in the English church.

 Battle of Lissa (1811) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dubourdieu apparently attempted to imitate the method of attack employed by Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, but was defeated in spite of the gallant fighting of the individual ships.
The enemy, according to James, attacked in two lines, as given, but there is no confirmation of this in French accounts, and it is certain that their fleet actually came into action in some confusion.
To escape from this disadvantageous position Hoste bore up across the bows of the Flore and came to the wind again on her lee side.

[5] The attack leaded by the British forces against the coastal defences at Cortellazzo was not at all an spur of the moment attack.  It seemed Captain Hoste had received from a fisherman an accurate account of the force, the situation of the fortified battery, and of the vessels at the anchorage.
