Two men were killed and several were wounded.

Sails were torn, and the high bulkheads were broken; but, without firing a shot in reply, the Ariadne swung clear at last of the hostile ships and reached safe water.
On the edge of the open sea Dyck took stock of the position.

The Ariadne had been hit several times, and the injury done her was marked.

Before morning the dead seamen were sunk in watery graves, and the wounded were started back to health again.

By daylight the Ariadne was well away from the land.
The first thing Dyck had done, after escaping from the river, was to study the wants of the Ariadne and make an estimate for the future with Greenock, the master.
