The enemy fired her Stern Chase upon us first which we return'd with our Fore chase several times, till we came nearer, and when close aboard each other, we gave her several Broadsides, plying our Small arms very briskly, which they return'd as a thick a while but did not ply their great Guns half as fast as we. After some time we shot a little ahead of them, lay thwart her Hawse close aboard, and plyed them so warmly that she soon struck her colours two thirds down. By this time the (4. Ship Name) Dutchess came up, and fired about 5 Guns with a volley of Small Shot, but the Enemy having submitted, made no Return.
