Artist: C. Knight. Published: C. Knight. Trotter walks (left to right), carrying on his shoulders Lord Melville in Highland dress. He is on rocky ground, menaced on both sides and behind by curling waves, which tower above them. In the waves, and about to be dashed against Melville, is a large foaming tankard of 'Whitbread Entire'. Four fish, with human heads wearing judge's wigs with bands, swim towards him. Those on the right are Erskine and Ellenborough. Melville says: "Trot on my dear Friend be carfull do not blunder those monsters watch us so closely they will devour me if you let me fall." Trotter says: "Set with confidence Harry dona be afraid mon I will carry you safe." He has a paper: 'a safe Pass, indemnified.' On the rocks and partly covered by waves, are emblems of the Navy: a bale of 'Stores' inscribed 'M', a 'Navy Chest', and an anchor; there are also a large shell and a crab.
