Ragged Island and went through the
little channel between Jaquish Island
and Baileys where, from the high
rocky shore, the people could plain
ly look upon the decks OF both ships.
1t was terrible sight, the decks
we're covered with blood, the crews
OF both ships meeting heavy loss, both
commanders killed, and each ship
comparatively ruined, and barely able

little channel, the two combatants
that were to go down in history as
having fought one Of the bravest
naval battles ever recorded. The
boats reached Portland, where the
two commanders were laid to rest
side by side in the Old Eastern Gene

In the little cove, just opposite
