To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The "Jacobin " having moved to the starboard side of the '' Montague," in the place the " Queen Charlotte " had intended to take, it was thought that the latter would have to go to leeward of both ; but, amid all the confusion of the scene, the quick eye of the gallant man who was directing her movements caught a glimpse of the '^ Jacobin's " rudder and saw it moving to change the ship's direction to leeward. Quickly seizing his opportunity, the helm of the British flag-ship was again shifted, ...and she came slowly and heavily to the wind in lier appointed place, her jib-boom in the movement just clear- ing the "Jacobin," as her side a few minutes before had grazed the flag of the '' Montague." The latter, it is said, made no reply to this deadly assault. The "Jacobin" fired a few shots, one of which cut away the foretopmast of tlie " Queen Charlotte ; " and then, instead of imitating the 140 THE NAVAL CAMPAIGN OF MAY, 1791^, lattcr's movement and coming to the wind again, by which the Bi-itish ship would have been placed between his fire and that of the " Montague," the captain weakly kept off and ran to leeward out of action.
