Стр. 321 - Gordon and myself considered her us our own : the delay of getting a boat on board the Bellona, and the anxious pursuit of Captain Gordon after the beaten enemy, enabled him to steal off, till too late for our shattered ships to come up with him, his rigging and sails apparently not much injured ; but by the laws of war I shall ever maintain he belongs to us.
Стр. 27 - In this latter business a lieutenant and twenty-two men of the 5th Regiment of Light Infantry (all French troops) were made prisoners.
