N. B. This squadron was cap- 

 tured and destroyed the same 

 year by a superior American 

 force. Although the English 

 ships exceeded the Americans 

 in the number of guns, yet the 

 calibre on the side of the latter 

 was sa much larger^ that on 

 estimating the weight of metal 

 thrown by one broadside from 

 each squadron, the American 

 was to the English as 3 is to 2. 

 The number of men on board 

 the Americans was nearly in a 

 similar proportion.
