We were now employed knotting, splicing, repairing, etc.

the rigging, cutting away the wrecks of the fore and main topmasts, and securing the lower masts.

Fortunately no accident happened with the powder, or with guns bursting.

We had but three men killed outright (a fourth died of his wounds very soon after) and about 30 men wounded, amongst whom five lost their limbs, and the other leg of one man was so much shattered as to be taken off some time after.

Our brave Admiral was unfortunately in this list, as before observed.
