The quarter-deck was blown up, and, in the confusion, the enemy boarded and carried the ship.
The first lieutenant, although wounded, jumped overboard and swam to the _Bombay_, which was also in evil plight.

A similar explosion had occurred, killing the captain, the first lieutenant, and many of the crew.

At this juncture came a welcome breeze, bringing up the _Victory_ grab, which had witnessed the fight without being able to take part in it, and the Angrians drew off.

No less than eighty Europeans were lost to the Company in this action.
In January, 1732, the _Ockham_, East Indiaman, coming up the coast with a light wind, was beset, off Dabul, by an Angrian squadron of five grabs and three gallivats.

At sunset they came within shot, and a little harmless cannonading took place at long range, till dark.
