In the beginning of the action he himself received a wound; but he continued doing his duty above deck till eleven at night, when receiving a fresh wound, he was carried down to be dressed.

During this operation, he received a shot in the head, and the surgeon was killed by his side.

The English began now to want powder.
All their small arms were broken or become useless.

Of their number, which were but a hundred and three at first, forty were killed, and almost all the rest wounded.

Their masts were beat overboard, their tackle cut in pieces, and nothing but a hulk left, unable to move one way or other.
