Mutiny precautions, sailor mail, and tobacco

Jervis enforced discipline with extraordinary severity and secured the removal of a senior officer after a dispute over Sunday executions. During wider mutiny scares, he kept Marines separate from sailors where possible and had them remain armed. He also treated sailors' access to mail as a right protected by the Articles of War, establishing a fleet post office when letters were detained in Lisbon. When tobacco ran short, he paid to restore the supply himself, pairing harsh control with attention to the conditions that shaped morale.
