But, binding a handkerchief tightly round the wound, I managed, thoughwith great difficulty, to direct the contest to its close. "The whole affair, from beginning to end, occupied only a quarter ofan hour, our loss being eleven killed and thirty wounded, whilst thatof the Spaniards was a hundred and sixty, many of whom fell underthe cutlasses of the Chilians before they could stand to their arms. Greater bravery I never saw displayed than by our gallant fellows. Before boarding, the duties of a...ll had been appointed, and a partywas told off to take possession of the tops. We had not been on decka minute, when I hailed the foretop, and was instantly answered by ourown men, an equally prompt answer being returned from the frigate'smain-top. No British man-of-war's crew could have excelled this minuteattention to orders. "The uproar speedily alarmed the garrison, who, hastening to theirguns, opened fire on their own frigate, thus paying us the complimentof having taken it; though, even in this case, their own men muststill have been on board, so that firing on them was a wantonproceeding.
