It hap- pened unluckily that the Prince Edward had her m2in and mizen mafts fhot away the firlt broadfide, and could never bring any more than five guns to bear on the Frenchmen ; and the fea ran fo high, that fhe could not open her lower ports. She has 10 men killed,and upwards of 40 wounded, feveral of them mortally.
