Hornblower was instructed to take back the French Prize Le Rive and Duchess of Wharfedale with him to England.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Midshipman Hornblower is a novel written by C. S. Forester. The novel is about the life of Horatio Hornblower.
In Chapter Ten of the novel, Hornblower was instructed to take with him the French Prize Le Rive and a passenger with him. To his surprise, the passenger was none other than the Duchess of Wharfedale. Hornblower was happy to sail back to England after three years. But to Hornblower's dismay, his ship sailed to Spain because of the thick fog.
