“ In about a quarter of an hour both fleets wore to the westward, the enemy’s line gave way, and were furiously assailed by Commodore Goodall. Captain Macbride, however, succeeded in reforming his line, wore round upon the larboard tack, and renewed the. action with fresh vigor. ”

“ In the month of August, 1789, when their late Majesties reviewed a squadron under Commodore Goodall, at Plymouth, Captain Hartwell commanded the Bellona of 74 guns, and was presented to the King immediately after the sham fight which took place on that occasion [1] . He continued in the Bellona during the Spanish and Russian armaments, but was paid off in the autumn of 1791. ”
