Comments on the clue

1.	Works better for me as "sounds like death toll is" for KNELL'S. But surface doen't seem very plausible, whichever Admiral Newton is meant.
2.	Not a convincing surface
3.	Nice idea, but I'm afraid "knell's on" doesn't sound like "Nelson". The former has a z; the latter, an s.
4.	The Nelson clue on its own is very good
