Excerpt from A Second Series of Deeds of Naval Daring, or Anecdotes of the British Navy Captain Salter, In his official letter, pays a high tribute to the gallant and officer-like conduct of Visconte de Montguiote In leading his ship into action This officer was killed early In the fight, When. The second in command, the Chevalier de Lemne, did everything that an experienced ofl'icer in his situation could possibly do, and did not Surrender until himself and all his oficers saye One, and about half his Ship's company, were either killed or wounded, While his masts were so crippled as to be In danger of going over the side every moment, several guns were dismounted, and he had four feet water in the hold - a a situation Sufficiently bad to justify to his king and country the necessity of Surrender.
