by John Marshall, Royal Naval Biography — Nagle, Edmund (1823)
“ On the 21st Oct. in the same year, the Artois, being off Ushant, in company with a squadron under Sir Edward Pellew, joined in the chace of an enemy’s ship, and her superior sailing afforded Captain Nagle the happy opportunity of distinguishing himself by a well conducted action of 40 minutes; when upon the approach of the other British frigates the Frenchman struck his colours. The prize proved to be la Révolutionnaire, of 44 guns and 35 1 men, 8 of whom were killed and 5 wounded. The Artois had Lieutenant Craigy, of the marines, and 2 men slain, with 5 wounded. ”
