At this point in the combat Hillyar signalled the Cherub, and they both drew ofif to repair their dam- ages, that were far from slight Again in a few minutes they came down before the wind, and took a new position athwart the Es- sex^s bows. To this fire Porter could not bring a single gun to answer. Again the decks of the Es- sex were red with blood ; there had been no time to move the wounded, and the dead lay huddled about in all directions. Now the shots even entered the l82 NAVAL ACTIONS O...F THE WAR OF l8l2 cockpit, and the men were killed as they lay on the operating-tables under the doctor's knife. To add to the horror, the Essex had caught on fire forward and aft Still undismayed, Porter determined to close with the enemy. The only sail that could be hoisted, owing to the mangled condition of the rigging, was the flying-jib. He raised this, cut his cable, and ran down on both ships, with the intention of boarding the Phc^be if possible.
At the prospect of being able to fight back, his men revived again, and a cheer ran along the shat- tered decks.
