The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Meanwhile the third Swedish Frigate attempted to outflank the defense line and came to the attention of the guns on the outer fortifications.

At the other end of the Swedish line Captain Patch in USS Boston finally silenced the English fort and opened up the other flank of the defending ships line.

At this juncture the second enemy ship sank under continuous fire from the two Swedish Frigates.

With her first objective achieved Boston now joined the Froja and the Swedish line of battle who had now disposed of the third enemy ship. The Galleys in concert with the only remaining ship now finally go onto the attack.

This proves to be too little too late and one Galley goes down almost immediately that it comes into range. Its massive forward pointing gun having little effect on the Froja.

The second Galley after a quick contretempts with Boston also sinks beneath the waters of the harbour, whilst the outer castle is subdued by Camilla and the remaining enemy ship is abandoned by her crew, giving the combined squadron an overall decisive victory. In respect for the losing Admiral Mustapha Camel his identity will remain a closely guarded secret.
