Notes

Ship's miscelaneous data.

1"Le general (Bailli de Suffrn) a jugé à propos de démonter Monsieur de Cillard, commandant le Sévère, qui avait effectivement amené son pavillon dans ce dernier combat et avait crié au capitaine du Sultanqu'il était rendu. Ses officiers, son brave équipage, étonnés de l'action lâche de leur capitaine, n'avaient pas voulu consentir à la reddition du vaisseau et avaient continué à tirer sur l'ennemi - b085."

 

(The general (Suffren) dismissed Monsieur de Cillard, commander of the Severus, who had actually struck his flag during the fight and had shouted for help to the captain of the Sultanqu'il. Its officers, and its brave crew, surprised by the cowardly action of their captain, did not consent to the surrender of the ship and continued firing at the enemy.)
