    A number of sketches were taken by the Admiral of the squadron, but not of every broadside exchanged. I do not know his intentions with regard to despatches or if he plans to include these, I have to admit, though.

    Thank you for your diligence Mr Bush. It is hoped that the Admiral will forward his sketches for inclusion in our records.

    Bligh.
    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.
