When the fleet was ready to put to sea, the people throng- ed the shores, watching its movements with the utmost curiosity and interest, earnestly hoping that it might be successful in its contests with 150 ALFRED THE GREAT. [A. D. 875 Bacc^a if Alfred's fleet Succession of battle* and treaties the more tried and experienced arm...aments with which it would have to contend.
Alfred was, in fact, successful in the first en- terprises which he undertook with his ships. He encountered a fleet of the Danish ships in the Channel, and defeated them. His fleet cap- tured, moreover, one of the largest of the ves- sels of the enemy ; and, with what would be thought in our day unpardonable cruelty, they thiew the sailors and soldiers whom they found on ooard into the sea, and kept the vessel.
After all, however, Alfred gained no con elusive and decisive victory over his foes.
