Burgess, who combines in one unassuming personage the tax and customs collector, the magistrate and the commissioner of poor relief from Labrador, afterward told us that the "Rose" had been on the coast for thirteen years and had been outsailed for the first time. The next morning we again beat her badly, in working up to Indian Harbor, and only then would he acknowledge himself fairly beaten.
On the 11th she came up with another high island, with a second, much lower, about two leagues to the southward. About this time another double canoe appeared, which outsailed the Unity. She was steered with two oars, one in each canoe.
One thing, however, was certain, the Southern Cross had sailed twenty- four hours before her rival, and had by that rival been overtaken and passed fairly outsailed; and whether Captain Spence's somewhat laboured explanation of this circumstance satisfied his passengers or not, it assuredly did not satisfy himself.
Thus circumstanced, he made sail and lay-to by turns; so that the British admiral could not engage them in proper order; and as they outsailed his ships, he began to fear they would escape him altogether should he wait for vice-admiral Lestock, who was so far astern.
The Peloponnesians hastened to engage first, and outflanking with their left the Athenian right sought to cut them off, if possible, from sailing out of the straits, and to drive their centre upon the shore, which was not far off. The Athenians perceiving their intention extended their own wing and outsailed them, while their left had by this time passed the point of Cynossema.
These, with the exception of one ship, all outsailed them and got safe into Naupactus, and forming close inshore opposite the temple of Apollo, with their prows facing the enemy, prepared to defend themselves in case the Peloponnesians should sail inshore against them.
Where was the British fleet all this time? Its commander, Admiral Hood, had followed sharply after De Grasse, and had outsailed him. Not finding the enemy's fleet in the Chesapeake, he sailed on to New York and reported to Admiral Graves. Then Sir Henry began to open his eyes to the real state of affairs. All was bustle and hurry.
Of course it was possible that he might do so, and come into possession of the Bellevite, winch had outsailed him, and disabled his ship for a combat at longer range.
I was just going for a tug when you ran him aboard the police-boat. "At any rate," he said in conclusion, "it's some satisfaction to know that it was you, and not he, that outsailed me." The two Deevers were punished in due course for conspiracy, and Flint for perjury. "On the whole," said Superintendent Byrnes to Nick, "I think that was about the prettiest work I ever saw.
At noon they espied a sail towards the south, and immediately gave chase, but she outsailed them, and sheltered under the fort of Cochin. Informed that they would not be molested in taking her from under the castle, they sailed towards her, but upon the fort firing two guns, they ran off for fear of more serious altercation, and returning, anchored in their former station.
