by John Marshall

“ I should be wanting injustice to the officers and ship’s company of the Anson, if I did not express to you my strongest approbation of their conduct. I am sorry to add, that we have had 2 valuable seamen killed, 4 dangerously wounded, and 9 slightly; the sails and rigging are much cut. ”

“ Chron. vol. xix. pp. 55 and 452. ↑ See Vol. I, Part II, p. 525. ↑ Total 31 killed; Lieutenant Sampson Marshall, of the Diadem, Captain John Robyns, R.M. Mr. C. Ogle, midshipman of the Tonnant, and 46 men wounded; 1 man missing. ”
