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.
Ifignia also gets a forrard battery shot off at the leading Chilean Frigate as it passes.
With the damage suffered by the Ifignia the O'Higgins now decides to board her and delivers a stinging broadside of her own on the second Spanish ship to arrive on the scene.
