A special celebratory piece by John O'Keeffe (1747 – 1833), written for the naval victories of 1797.

== Performance history in South Africa ==

On 16 July, 1808, a play called ''The Tars of Old England'' was apparently performed in the [[African Theatre]], Cape Town by the [[Garrison Players]] on 16 July, 1808, with ''[[The Agreeable Surprise]]'' (O'Keeffe). One possibility is that this could have been Smollett's play ''[[The Reprisal, or The Tars of Old England]]'', given the use of the sub-title. However, it is also very likely that it could have been a version of this piece, given the predilection the [[Garrison Players]] had for the work of O'Keeffe and the fact that members of the company most probably had taken part in some of the battles.
