Yes, EXACTLY. Can you imagine the social reaction? Everyone would know, and it would be gossiped about, by all sorts of people who would never know the real situation or who Archie was.
What does happen to the sea chests of dead officers, generally? I think Horatio would have taken it with him, or at least made sure it was sent back. But I wonder if he thought about keeping something from it. He would probably believe it would be wrong to do so, but the *thought* that maybe he could keep something of Archie's with him. Argh.
