Further Particulars of the Battle of 

 Trafulj^ur, in a Letter from Ad- 



7niral Collingizood., to W. Mars- 



den, Efq. 

 Dated Euryalus, off Cadiz, Oct. 28. 

 Sir, 



Since my letter to you of the 

 24th, stating the proceedings of his 

 majesty's squadron, our situation 

 has been most critical, and our em- 

 ployment the most arduous that ever 

 a fleet was engaged in. On the 

 24th and 25th it blew a most violent 

 gale oi' wind, which completely dis- 

 persexl the ships, and drove the cap- 

 tured hulls in all directions. I have 

 since been employed in collecting 

 and destroj'ing them, where they 

 are at anchor upon the coast be- 

 tween Cadiz, and six leagues west- 

 ward of San Lucar, without the 

 prospect of saving one to bring into 

 port. I mentioned in my former 

 letter the joining of the Donegal and 

 Melpomene, after the action ; I can- 

 not sufficiently praise the activity of 

 their commanders, in giving assist- 

 ance to the squadron in destroying 

 the enemy's ships. The Defiance, 

 after having stuck to the Aigle, as 

 long as it was possible, in hope of 

 saving her from wreck, which sepa- 

 rated her for some time from the 

 squadron, was obliged io abandon 

 her to her fate, and she went on- 

 shore. Captain Durham's exer- 

 tion's have been very great. I hope 

 I shall get them all destroyed by to- 

 morrow, if the weather keep mo- 

 derate. In the gale, the Royal So- 

 vereign and Mars lost their fore- 

 masts, arid arc now rigging anew, 

 where the body of the squadron is 

 at anchor to N. AV. of San Lucar. — 

 I find, that on the return of Gra- 

 Tina to Cadiz, he was immediately 

 ordered to sea again, and cnme out, 

 which made it necessary for me to 

 form a line, to cover the disabled 

 hulls — that night it blew hard, and
