he laid himself over the arm chest and barricadoe,
determined to keep up the fire, but in a short time,
from pain and loss of blood, he was unable to com-
mand, growing faint, and they helped him below. As
soon as he came to, he found his firing had ceased and
his people round him wounded, not having a surgeon
with them, in a most distressed situation, most of
them groaning and some expiring. Struck severely
with such a spectacle, Capt. Tracy ordered his people
to take him up in a chair upon the quarter deck and
resolved again to attack the ship, which was all this
time keeping up her fire; but after getting into the
air, he was so faint that he was for some time unable
to speak and finding no alternative but they must be
taken or sunk, for the sake of the brave men that
remained he ordered them to strike to the ship."
