Soon after the junction of Sir Cloudesley and Sir George, they resolved on a sudden attack on Gibraltar, and on the 21st of July sailed into the bay. Having landed marines and some sixteen hundred troops, they summoned the governor to surrender ; and, being answered that " he would defend his trust to the last, " they next day com- menced a brisk cannonade. The position of Gib- raltar was such that fifty men might have held the place against as many thousands. Neverthe- less, the Spaniards ere ...long began to desert their batteries ; and the seamen of the fleet, bavins: SIR CLOUDESLEY SHOVEL. 257 embarked in their boats, pulled to the shore, land- ed rapidly, climbed the fortifications, and took possession. When Charles Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough, was sent to Spain with five thousand troops to aid Charles of Austria to wrench the Spanish crown from Philip the Fifth, Sir Cloudesley Shovel was appointed admiral and commander-in-chief of the fleet. Having landed at Lisbon in June, and taken the Archduke Charles on board, the English proceeded to the coast of Catalonia, and laid siege to Barcelona.
