We soon got out fail's 011 the ifhip again, and I purposed to keep the enemy's two ships in chequc till our's arrived, as the only means of taking them both; but finding the day far advanced, and little probability of otir being affilled, as our (hips rather dropped, and expecting our main-topemaft, which was (hot through, to go every minute, knoiving that if our malt went, both the ships mutt es cape, I determined to fecbre the one I was nearest. She was afltfted some time by her second, but, changing fides in the smoke, it prevented him from an noying us. She ivas defended with the greatest bravery from twelve till a quar ter pa It two, P.
