having prevjoufly attempted to palS between us and ‘k*
land, in which they were frulirated by our [lerkvcrii.p**
Shading on, obliged hCr to tatk, which breught us into ht" r
wake, when we put about. From this time every prepaid
ion was nade for battle, and the wind continuing prtttv
frelh encouraged the expe(Ration, “i he day clofm-, M( j
approaxl-mg a very intricate and dangerous navigation
rendc y. it for fame time doubtful whether k was prad\i c *
able; but the French pilot removed the doubt, by afiurin”
Capt. Hood tiiat the enemy could not go throrrgh the p:uT, ■*•
du Raz, as the tide of ebb had made from tue northwaH
About half part 8 it was afeertained that the enemy “had
brought up,*feemingly in every refped preparing tg receive
us, fails furled and springs on her cables. From the vio.
lence of the current on our approaching cne land it provgfc
mpracticable to pas; ahead of her,,and a?, a quarter ptftji
the-enemy commenced the action by firing her fiar'oaicl ’
broadlide, and vrt had scarcely time to haul up tlie lower
deck ports and return the compliment before we were linger,
ceptibly aboard of each other, both our heads in the fame
way (to die northward.) Our men behaved with courage
and diferetion, notwithstanding fcveral of them wi?e
wounded at a very early period of the engagement. They
twice attempted to board us, but we repelled with gre.it
violence, he petition of the fliip rendered the dexterity
of the cannoniers fruitleis, and the cooinels and intrepidity
dilpla'.’ed by individuals in the Mars are hardly crediole* *
iut fads proved it, by moll of the enemy’s gnns being dis.
mounted and otberwife lhattered, infonnich that had it
blown frdhßhe'imdfc have funk, and -ntoih probably v,-
fliouid have fiiared the fame fate. The enemy now finding
tliemfelves.encumbered with the killed and wounded, (of
the former there were 90 thrown overboard tlie next morn
ing) and altogether diiabkd, they earnelfly implicatedkr
quarters about lialf past 1-0, when we her as hav,
:ng surrendered. At this time the French lliip was on fire
in three different places; then our ad -Lieutenant (Mr.
Bouker) very gallantly boarded her, notwitiillanding the
confulion, and was oppoled by Jome of the officers on the
quarterdeck, but without effccf, and soon got poffelfion of
aer, and extinguished the fire> The prize is L Heicnle, a
iarge 74, 70c men, commanded by L’Herilte, Chef de
kivtiion; (he was in L’Amerique on tlie ill June) fix
Tionths off the stocks, two days from L’Orient, bound to
Breif; ix months stores and provisions, and|fe called a veiy
me handsome fliip, rather longer than the Mars, and ij
ports on each deck. - ’ , f
“ It is iuppoled they had killed arid wounded 350 men;
bearing, at the time of the action, Bbc du Raz n. 1-4 f..
two miles, Grand Qpmet Rock (Saints) one mile, ana the
3teveut-Rock n. fix, w-. tliree miles; wind e. n. e. Under
thtie circumstances I will leave you to judge.of the merit
and bravery of the attack. The lituation prelentcd lliip
-.vreck or victory. I have sincerely to lament the Id’s of my
friend Capt. Hood; he was wounded on the quarteideck oy
v mulket bail, in the femorai artery in the rignt thigh, about
a quarter of an hour before the enemy llruck, and expired
n the cockpit with the Frenchman’s iword in his hand.
Any praise or encomiums on his coolnt is and bravery cn
this occaiion would fall fliort cf his deserts: I can only fay,
that in his death tlie victory was dearly bought. I’fie coun
try lias differed in him the loss ot a lintere end firm friend,
i gaflant officer, and we an amiable ana worthy commander,
who is moit uni verbally lamented-. From the Jatelf il. lb.i na
tion I find there were in the Mars 16 killed, 6 iince dead,
1 milfing, [fuppofed to have fallen between the two Hups
in attempting to board the enemy, to exlinguiih the fire]
and -9 wounded; total 89. Moft of the wounded are in 2
b*ir way of recovery. Capt. Joleph White, of the marines,
was killed on the poop; Lieuts. Argles and Ford wounded,
t.nd afo a Mr. Southey, a Midfliipman. Our rigging and
fails much damaged; tliere is not a main fliroud purled;
:he bremafl #uch wounded; jib boom carried away; in
.hort the*appeai*ance of both Ihips is diilreffing. The fleet
vere to ieeward of us when we chafed about 5 or 6 miles,
the land about the’.Saints in light. From our superior fad
ng 10 Tip of the fleet could keep company, consequently
we received no afliftance till the next morning, which I
inure vou we were in much need of. I-believe the above
are be principal occurrences, ar.d I trtift they will enable
you- a have an idea of the combat, which from the danger
ous fituatioTi, and being in the might, its equal, in my o.
pinion, is noton record in otir naval history.”
May 3. At 12 o’clock on Tutfday the remains of the
late gallant Capt. Hood \va3 brought on fliore at Plymouth,
for the purnofe of being conveyed to his place of rtlidence
n Somiertlhire, there to be interred. The corpse on ia
being landed was met by all the Captains and other officers
of n* Majesty’s fl.ips at Plymouth, and a Field Officer’*
niard of marines, when a proceflion was formed in tlie fol
lowing onion
Field Officer’s guard, composed of marines; music play
ing the dead march in Saul; Englilh colors under which the
Vlars fought; Clerg; men and Surgeons; two Captains of
the navy as chief mourners; CORPSE, and fix Captains
as nail iiearers; Officers of tlie Mars; Captains of the Royal
